Hi All,
I am very confused with Jakarta Documentation. It says that if I
return EVAL_BODY_AGAIN, or some other constant like that from
doAfterBody(), The Tag Body will be 'evaluated' again. What I am
expecting is, If By Tag Body Has some more custom tags, those will be
Processed by the System, and finally I will get my beautiful HTML
output. How ever it is not happening. My Inner Tags are ignored by
the system, and I get no HTML output. Evaluation of the custom Tag
happens only for one level.
Is this the expected behaviour ?, Or I am doing some blunder ?. I
feel it is a blunder from my side.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Boni
