hi folks. (Sorry for the wide distribution, this question seems to span
both the JSP and taglib realm).
I'm having a problem with the interaction of a taglib BodyTag and a
jsp:include action (or an equivalent taglib tag that uses a
pageContext.forward()). For example, if I have:
<foo:myBodyTag>
Blah Blah...
<jsp:include page="..."/>
</foo:myBodyTag>
The output from the jsp:include action always appears BEFORE the output
from the myBodyTag taglib tag.
(BTW, I'm using Tomcat 3.1)
In reading the JSP 1.1 spec, section 5.4.5 says
The BodyContent Class
The BodyContent is a subclass of JspWriter that can be used to
process body evaluations so they can retrieved later on. The
class has methods to convert its contents into a String, to
read its contents, and to clear the contents.
The buffer size of a BodyContent object is “unbounded”. A
BodyContent object cannot be in autoFlush mode. It is not
possible to invoke flush on a BodyContent object, as there is
no backing stream. This means that it is not legal to do a
jsp:include when out is not bound to the top-level JspWriter.
...
>From the last sentence, does this mean that it is illegal to use a
jsp:include action (or an equivalent taglib tag that performs a
pageContext.include()) within a BodyTag?
Is there a way to get around this in JSP 1.1 (Specifically Tomcat 3.x)?
Would setting the page buffer to none help? (If so, what problems or
drawbacks are there for settign the page buffer to none?)
I've looked through the JSP 1.2 spec (although not completely), and I
did not see any mention of this type of restriction. Is this correct?
I realize that this is somewhat contanier specific, but does anyone know
if Tomcat 4.x allow for jsp:include actions within a BodyTag?
Thank you for your time.
