Tomcat 4 users will notice some performance improvements in the latest nightly builds (and 4.1.x test releases). A lot of work is going on to improve the quality of the code that is generated for JSP pages, especially those with lots of custom tags -- which pretty much describes every Struts app in the world :-). For other platforms, this is primarily an app server issue -- there is basically nothing that Struts can do to influence the Java code that is generated for custom tags, and the Struts tag implementations themselves are fairly optimized. > Thanks in advance, > Erich > Craig ---------------------------------------------------------- James Mitchell Software Engineer\Struts Evangelist Struts-Atlanta, the "Open Minded Developer Network" http://struts-atlanta.open-tools.org > -----Original Message----- > From: Sunil Mathew George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 11:39 PM > To: Struts User > Subject: Pros and Cons of using Taglibs in Struts > > > Hi Guys, > I am new to Struts and want to know if any known > problems/issues exist when > we use taglibs.
