Answer / rakesh

A custom tag is a user-defined JSP language element. When a
JSP page containing a custom tag is translated into a
servlet, the tag is converted to operations on an object
called a tag handler

ex-bodyless tag 2 tags with body
1<tagName attributeName="value"
anotherAttributeName="anotherValue"/>

2.<tagName attributeName="value"
anotherAttributeName="anotherValue">
...tag body...
</tagName>

Answer / rex

JSP technology also provides a mechanism for encapsulating other types of dynamic functionality in custom tags, which are extensions to the JSP language. Custom tags are usually distributed in the form of a tag library, which defines a set of related custom tags and contains the objects that implement the tags.

2. we need call custom tag to ur jsp page
3. we need declare taglib uri and taglib loaction in web.xml
4. we need write taglib Discriptor(TLD) file
