JSP implicit objects in Simple Tags

[KRK Gowda]

Hi All,
Custom tags can have access to JSP implicit objects using PageContext object.
this is ok with Classic tags as interface Tag do have method getPageContext to get object of PageContext.
but with Simple Tags, they use JspContext. and JspContext do not have access to JSP implicit objects.
does it mean that Simple tags cannot access JSP implicit objects. :roll:

Thanks and Regards,

Hi KRK,

We can use PageContext with SimpleTags.
We'll have to cast JspContext to PageContext.

public void doTag()throws JspException,IOException{
   PageContext pc=(PageContext)this.getJspContext();
   String user=pc.getServletContext().getInitParameter("userName");
}
