Tag as function parameter

Hello,

I'm trying to use a tag as function parameter, but I don't know how to do it, if it's possible.

I have the following function:

<%!
public String paint (String p_val)
{
String cad = "";

cad += p_val + "<br>";

return cad;
}
%>

And I want to call this function like that:

<%= paint (<html:text property="author" />) %>

is it possible to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Raul,

Try this
<%
out.print(paint("<html:text property='author' />"));
%>

It doesn't works. It prints the string "<html:text...", but not the code coverted to "<input type='text'...".

Thanks

Look into the section on functions

It isn't. A tag is a unit of processing, not a value that can be passed around. You cannot mix scriplets and tags in this way.

Since it's a Struts tag that you are dealing with, I've moved this to the Struts forum where you should explain what you are actually trying to accomplish so that you can be instructed how to do it using a realistic approach.

You might be able to do something like this:
