Using one JSP tag within another

[Kindon]

I want to get the affect of using one JSP tag within another. Unfortunately embedding tags within tags is not valid syntax. I have a taglib with one attribute like the following:

<custom:tag1 attrib=&quot;myAttribValue&quot;/>

So what if I want to have attrib set by another JSP tag?

<custom:tag1 attrib=&quot;<custom:tag2 attrib2='myvalue'/>&quot;/>

This did not work, of course. At this point I started trying all kinds of things. I tried many variations of this:

<%! String myresult = &quot;&quot;; %>
<% myresult = &quot;%><custom:tag1 attrib='myvalue'/><%&quot;;%>

<custom:tag2 attrib=&quot;<%= myresult %>&quot;/>

I can't figure this out. If I could access the tag as an object I could get it to work. Here is an example of a bean that works:

<custom:tag1 attrib1='<%= Message.getMessage(&quot;login.title&quot %>'/>

You can't use <bean:message key=&quot;&quot;> here. You have to use the Message object, right.

Is there a way to access a taglib as an object? Do you know any way to get this to work?
