<div>
&gt;&gt;Is it possible to create a third custom tag that combines the two?<br />
Yes<br />
<br />
&gt;&gt;It would be nice to be able to do this without resorting to calling the doXXXTag/etc. methods of the respective tag handlers. &nbsp;Maybe generate the JSP code in the body and somehow ask the container to evaluate it?<br />
<br />
You can either cut and paste the source for the respective tags or do as you say and call the methods. A<br />
<br />
I don't know why you would want to do this as the two tags give you more flexibility and it makes very little difference to have 2 tags rather than 1.<br />
<br />
What are you actually trying to do, as I assume that this is a hypothtical example.

Let's say its a whole bunch of tags, and you don't want to resort to includes.

Let's say I have the following two tags:<br />

Outputs:<br />

Tags to generate JSP?

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
