Buffering of bodycontent in tags

[Renu Radhika]

What happens when doAfterBody returns EVAL_BODY_AGAIN in a tag handler whose doStartTag has returned EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED.Does that means the first evaluation goes to buffer and the second one goes to output?

No, you're still using the buffer during a re-evaluation.

Then whats the difference between returning EVAL_BODY_AGAIN and EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED in doAfterBody?

[Christophe Verré]

EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED is returned by doStartTag, not doAfterBody.

doStartTag() can return SKIP_BODY, EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE or EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED.
doAfterBody() can return SKIP_BODY or EVAL_BODY_AGAIN.
