Using child tag information in parent.

[Darryl Smith]

Hi

Just ran into an issue where I have 2 tags, both simple tags.

The child tag provides information to the parent which is supposed to use that information to change it's behavior. The problem
being that the parent's doTag() method executes before the child tag has set values in the parent tag. I could call the parent's
doTag() method again although this would be very tacky. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Ahhh

To answer my own question in the parent's doTag() method do the following to allow the child tag to
execute and thereby setting the parent values.

  
@Override
public void doTag() throws JspException, IOException {
	getJspBody().invoke(null);  
		
	//Continue Processing as before.
}
