Subject: JSP - TagExtroInfo possible bug?
> Hello all,
>
> I have encountered another possible bug - 0.8.0.
>
> I have created a TagSupport object and an associated TagExtraInfo object. I
> have two attributes for the tag - "id" and "url". In the taglib descriptor file
> taglib.tld, attribute "id" is set as required, "url" is not required.
>
> In the .jsp file the following works fine:
>
> <test:testtag id="xyz" url="abc" />
>
> However, if I do not specify the optional attribute "url":
>
> <test:testtag id="xyz" />
>
> the following exception is thrown:
>
