ok Asha,
        i did not follow the thread..but were you able to run the custom tag
example that comes along with tomcat??
it's in the directory examples/jsp/simpletag
if u are able then:
- write your own tag
- write your taglib
- declare your taglib in the proper web.xml
- then write the JSP with your custom tag

if your tag has an attribute...declare it in your taglib

<attribute>
<name>name_of_the_attribute</name>
<required>true</required>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>


regards
        marco




if u are able..then the problem can be how u declare the taglib
