about multiple custom tag

[kenji kunoichi]

see I want to have 2 custom tag appearing in a single jsp page .

so for that do I need to create 2 .tld files as well as 2 .java class ?

Yes, for every custom tag there should be one tld and a class file.

You can put multiple tags in a single TLD.

If you're writing Java-based custom tags of course there will be multiple class files. If you're using JSP-based tags there will be multiple tag files, but no TLD.

As David pointed out, this is incorrect. A single TLD defines one library, which can contain multiple tags, functions, and tag file declarations.

However, if you want the tag files to have the same prefix as non-file tags or other functions, they can also be declared in the TLD.
