There are a variety of books available and personal preference plays a
great part in the books one likes. Regarding the original question of
assigning the contents of a tag to a java variable, I think there is no
elegant way of doing it. It is probablt possible to use the page context
object however, it would seem weird to use a server side code to just
assign the contents printed out by a custom tag to a java script variable.
I appreciate feedback if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Ram

I've been very happy about this book. I'm usually looking for
well-explained concepts and code snippets, so spelling errors aren't a
big problem for me.

The following showed up during a 30-second amazon search spree:
Wrox Press Inc; ISBN: 1861004958
I am generally VERY wary of Wrox books due to huge wads of
typos, code that just plain wouldn't work, poor editing, etc.
I've been much happier with _Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages_
by Marty Hall, Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-089340-4 for the Amazonally-
challenged ;) combined with the online JavaDocs for the J2EE platform.
