I have a problem that I was hoping writing a custom tag would solve... I have a jsp page, which uses a bean. This bean can catch an exception, and use a RequestDispatcher.forward() to an ErrorHandler JSP. Even though I have a return statement after the forward() in the bean, it returns control back to the original JSP (unlike a return statement in a JSP which returns from the service method). This follows the spec...but it also breaks my application. The ErrorHandler page is shown, but control continues back to the original JSP. Anyways, rather then setting attributes and checking for attributes (to detect if there was a forward to ErrorHandler) I thought I could write a custom <abort> tag which would stop the control by returning SKIP_PAGE from the doEndTag() method.... This does stop any content after the <abort> tag on the ErrorHandler.jsp page, however, just like the bean, it returns control back to the first JSP that was called. Is this per spec? Am I out of luck with a clean solution to this? Thanks, Neal
