In general, this is simplified in JSP 2.0 as well. The JSP 1.2 tag-handler protocol isn't terrible once you learn it, but as Eduardo Pelegri has joked at JavaOne presentations, Gosling himself said he hadn't had time to work through the tag-handler protocol because of its difficulty! If by "arguments" you mean tag attributes, see http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/guidelines for some guidelines on handling them correctly; it's a little trickier than might be evident at first. -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
