Title: Anyone doing their own taglib?
You could always try a templating engine like
Webmacro (http://www.webmacro.org/). The
templating script they have developed could assist you keep your back end logic
one place and your view (formatting, presentation) completely separate.
Your objects can return lists/objects/etc. and, in the template, you can
loop/access/etc. those objects...
Need any pointers just ask,

Hi All,
I have implemented a few simple tags that use attributes and
parameters. I would like to use JSP to keep presentation(formatting)
separate from content and processing. It seems to me that tag libs
need to be able to return a list, vector, array, enum, or some other
multi-part form of data, rather than printing directly to out.println.
As it is, it seems tags are forced to place HTML formatting statements in
the taglib implementation when returning more than one item in a single
call. Then, presentation is mixed into the processing and content
returned by the tag. Shouldn't the tag be able to return data that can
be formatted differently without changing the tag implementation?
Maybe as objects in the session??
