I think it's worth pointing out that, when you say: query="#getProductList#" you are passing the query by reference. Queries and structures are passed by reference, while arrays and simple types are passed by value. When something is passed by reference, there's only one object, but multiple names that point to the object. It's also worth noting that you could reference the query from within the custom tag without passing it at all, so if you did this: query="getProductList" you could reference it within the custom tag like this: Caller.getProductList However, I prefer the first approach myself.
