Hi all, this is a fairly elementary question but I cant seem to dig up an answer or tutorial that covers this clearly. I want to have something like <test:Blah value="Something" /> output "The value is Something" to the page I have seen a number of examples (and even wrote a few of my own tags) which extend BodyTagSupport and perform a bodyContent.writeOut(bodyContent.getEnclosingWriter()); type action but never from an object which extends TagSupport (and doesnt have a body) :( Thanks for the help Jeff =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
