tags as other tags' attribute value

[Kaiser Lautern]

Hi, people,

Maybe this is a recurring question but I didn't manage to find the right keywords, so I'm gonna (re)post it.

I learned that custom tags don't accept other tags as their attribute values. So I can't write something like:

<myTag rocess att1='<bean:write name="att1id"/>'
att2='<bean:write name="att2id"/>'
att3 ='<bean:write name="att3id"/>'
/>
Is that correct?

The problem is that I changed the bean:write tags above to scripting variables (like <%=att1id%> but the tag handler is still getting the string "<%=att1id%>" instead of the content of the string attribute (like the parser is not parsing).

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Kaiser

If you want your custom tag to accept a scriptlet as one of it's attributes, you must include:

<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>

with the definition of that attribute in your .tld file.

Thanks Merril,

That's exactly what was missing in my tld to make it work.
