Hi, In a JSP, I have the need to do multiple SOAP requests. ... What I'd like to do is to have these requests run at the same time (like in a thread).. Is there any way (using the existing tag library) that I can do this? Thanks, Kevin T. Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]

While Java also supports meaningful naming, in this case the goal is to create tag libraries for non-programmers. So, names like "x" and "fmt" are not terribly clear. The HTML tags are not cryptic, and whenever possible, neither should JSP tags. I undestand that the HTML tags don't need a prefi

However, they will become a de-facto standard. So it's the usual abbreviation cuz it's easy to type versus full word because it's meaningful argument. Java philosophy supports the latter, so I will too. How about is JSTL peeps? Can we have more meaningful default namespaces? On Thu, 21 Mar 2002

How were the names for the JSTL tag library prefixes chosen? I think that the naming could be more consistent and/or meaningful. For example, instead of the current ones, how about these alternatives: c --> core x --> xml fmt --> format sql --> sql But, even this isn't clear that the libraries
