Sorry for the noise, it turns out it was caused by the fact that Tomcat (5.0.25) did not have a mapping for .jspf.

It seems that neither <jsp:include> nor <c:import> (or Struts 2's <s:import>) work in tag files. I'm fine with using "include file", but how do I specify a dynamic value for the file attribute?

The following doesn't work:

If I use the following in a JSP Tag File, only the 2nd one is processed:



Using <jsp:include> doesn't seem to work in tag files. Is that as designed?

If I use <%@ attribute name="class" required="false" %> in a JSP Tag file, it results in a blank page and the following error in my Tomcat console:



Any idea why? Change the attribute to "cssClass" works, but "class" is much more intuitive for web developers using my tag.

As a workaround, I can use dynamic-attributes. I'm just curious if this issue is documented anywhere or I'm just doing something wrong.

Thanks,

It doesn't matter for an aesthetics point of view, but web developers might get annoyed the output doesn't look like their input. It works fine on JSPs, just not on Tag files. I'm using Tomcat 5.0.25.

Nevermind, I got it working - don't know what was causing the non-evaluation before.

I do have a new problem though - if I turn on trimSpaces in Tomcat's web.xml - all the lines spit out by my tag files are on the same line. With a regular JSP, line breaks are honored. Any ideas?

I want to do something like this:

<tag:head><tag:js src="foo.js"/></tag:head>

However, when I use body-content="scriptless" in head.tag, it blows up. When I use body-content="tagdependent", "<tag:js src="foo.js"/>" is spit out w/o being evaluated.

Adding type="java.util.Map" worked. Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't see a "caused by" in my stack trace.

I do see a NoClassDefFoundError though:

You can't nest custom tags in this manner.
You can't use a custom tag as an attribute to another custom tag.

Dynamic attributes are meant so that the tag will handle whatever parameters you pass it at runtime. However you can't dynamically create the attributes to the tag and then evaluate the tag in this manner.

An alternative would be to define another attribute to the <li:a> tag which takes a Map of name/value pairs.

ie like this



That's what I figured when I first started trying to solve this. However, your suggestion doesn't seem to work. In my "a.tag" file, I have:

Here's my JSP that's calling my tag file:



In anogb.tag, I have:



How do I pass {dynattrs} to my a.tag file in order to render the "style" attribute?

In a.tag, I have:



If I call <li:a> directly from my JSP, it works fine and renders the style attribute. However, if I try to pass the attributes to <li:a> with the following code, it bombs:

I'm using JSP 2.0 Tag files in a Struts 2 application. If I do something like the following, it works great:



In anogb.tag, I have:



However, if I change anogb.tag to reference another tag file, I'm unable to pass the dynamic-attributes to it. I've tried just about everything but haven't found a solution yet. Any ideas?

Did you add visitID to your model? Regardless, you should be able to access it using JSTL:

Spring Live has JSF coverage. ;-)
You could try JavaBB.
