diference between using custom tag and beans

[Guest_imported]

Jsp provide custom tag to extend the functin easily.But it has complicated steps,namely creating URI file,corresponding Java class,and jsp consuming the tag.
But I don't see the benefit of using custom tag rather than using beans.
Who could tell me?

thanks

by the way,I left this forum for a period and when I come back I find it unfamiliar to me.

The basic theory behind the custom tags is that ideally you would have a web designer create your .jsp pages. Since most web designers dont know java, it is beneficial to use custom tags instead of putting java code inline because the web designer is more likely to understand a custom tag than a block of java code.
