Hi Chris, Thanks for the pointer. I am a bit confused though with the following: I would like to implement the second suggestion you made, ie to allow the variable to be named explicitly from within the tag. My problem is that in the IterationTagExtraInfo I must create a variable with a name, if the name of the variable is itself variable, how do I pass this name to the the IterationTagExtraInfo class? If you know what I mean? Do I just create a getVariableName in the IterationTag and then call it from the IterationTagExtraInfo class?
I tried changing the scope of the variable which doesn't really work as then I get the "Bean 'name' already defined" error when the tags are not nested. I tried changing the 'declare' boolean parameter to false, so the tag will update the variable, rather than creating a new one but since the variable doesn't yet exist when first calling the tag, this didn't work either. ??
