Thanks for your reply. >Sorry, from all my understanding, thats just not allowed in XML.
JSP looks like XML but is it required for JSP to exactly match the XML restrictions? At least multiple attributes work in Tomcat 4.1.12 quite fine. If I use this feature(?) in our project, I am am not sure if this will create problems in future versions of Tomcat or other servlet containers. The JSP specification seems to be not clear in this point (at least I found no statement concerning this topic). Frank -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mark R.

Sorry, from all my understanding, thats just not allowed in XML. Attributes always have to be unique keys. When trying to build "sets" on a "key" I would recommend separate nested tags <x:DEFINESET> <x:ELEMENT val="x"/> <x:ELEMENT val="y"/> <x:ELEMENT val="z"/> </x:DEFINESET> You can make a "public Collection getDefineset()" method in the DEFINESET tag. Then, in the ELEMENT jsp tag class you can lookup its parent (DEFINESET) and call this method to get the Collection of definitions and add any new ELEMENTS to it. hope this helps some, MArk Frank Börncke wrote: > Hello, > > defining a custom tag "DEFINESET" in a taglib having an > attribute called ELEMENT we want to use this attribute > multiple times as follows: > > <x:DEFINESET > ELEMENT = "x" > ELEMENT = "y" > ELEMENT = "z" > /> > > Deployed in a Tomcat environment this results in multiple > calls of the setter 'setELEMENT'.
