sure, first time i tried to keep it simple, so i left out the idea behind ;) ok, I am working on some CMS, where a user can write an article. This article is saved in a db. The author is also able to set some links within this article. therefor he has to use the tag <a:link target="someurl">here</a:link> in the text. so this article is nothing more than a String, which could contain a tag. to display an article i use another tag <article:display id="someid"/>. in the jsp. So basically in the article tag class i connect to the db, read out the text-field and print it out. And heres the problem: if this String (from the db) contains a tag how can i process this tag within another tag? Using another custom-tag to accomplish this seems a bit strange, because the functionality is already here (although the servlet-engine does this) So the perfect way would be: give the String, which contains the tag, to some method, parse it and return the altered text with the correct link. how can i give this String to the corresponding link-tag-class? if possible;) i hope it's a bit clearer now. and again, any help or hint would be great greetings ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
