Obtaining the body content of a tag as text

[Marc Larochelle]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the body of a custom tag as a String, make some changes in it, and then puting it back in the body. Also, I don't want the body of the tag to be executed, but just outputed as string.

Example :

-------------------------------------
<c:set var="test" value="abc" />

<tag:custom>
<c ut value="${test}" />
</tag:custom>
-------------------------------------

So in my custom tag, I'll replace the string "${test}" by "abc". So the result that I want to see in my browser is :
<c ut value="abc" />

I'm able to get the body content as a String with doAfterBody(), but it's already executed and, in the example, is alreay equals to "abc", and not "<c ut value="${test}" />"

Any idea?

Declare the <body-content> of the tag as "tagdependent" in the TLD... this prevents the container from parsing the contents but instead passes them literally.

That should do the trick.

It's working, thank you !
