what is advantage of using scripting variable in custome tag?

[Niiraj Patel]

howdy all,

what is advantage of using scripting variable in custom tag?.

In which scenario it serves its best ? In which type of situation it is really required ?

You can also avail of page scoped variable using <jsp:useBean standard action.

Can anyone please clear the doubt ?

Hi Niiraj,

what is advantage of using scripting variable in custom tag?.

Do you mean creating a (page-scoped) variable to be used in scriptlets? like this:

<fw:mycustomtag>
    <h1>This <%= Name %> is the scripting variable</h1>
</fw:mycustomtag>

There is no advantage at all! JSP2.0 was creating to get rid of all the java-code in the jsp's. It is possible but more or less for backward compatiblity: so don't start using it in real life (unless you are being threatened by your boss )
