Martin,
I do not believe that what you suggest would work.
My understanding is that when a jsp is compiled, all
the custom taglibs and the jsp are compiled into one huge
servlet. So at runtime, the container knows nothing about
custom tags or taglibs, just servlets. Since the doAfterBody()
method would be invoked at run time, there is no means to translate
the Body's Output into servlet code, and then re-execute it.
The jsp spec does mention that Body Content of a Body tag can be
processed, however,
I am not sure that this means it can be processed as another Taglib
rather,
just as text.
regards,
Nick
