This isn't really an answer to your question, but a tip anyway. If you don't plan to manipulate the body of the tag, which you do not in the code below, you can consider inheriting TagSupport instead of BodyTagSupport. A normal (TagSupport) tag can have a body, but you can not get the contents of the body from inside the tag.
You can then skip doInitBody() and doAfterBody(). Instead use doStartTag() and doEndTag(). Mattias Jiderhamn Expert Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Dinesh, S.
