Why should he have to mention or even look for which tutorial for this guy?
I think java.sun.com was just sort of a sarcastic "RTFM, and start at the
beginning" reference anyway.
Instead of the convoluted series of steps that you list below, anyone with
half a brain or a little incentive would know to just open google, excite,
yahoo, etc and just search on 'taglib tutorial'. I just did that and was
rewarded with tons of listings!
Some of these guys went overboard in their rudeness, but how many times have
we seen some lazy newbie come on this list and shower it with these
messages:
"Tell me about java" (then someone responds, encouraging their laziness),
then we get:
"Now tell me about servlets", then
"Now tell me about JSP",
etc,
etc.
The rude dudes are kind of the sentries to discourage that sort of thing, I
guess. If you're going to ask us to recommend a good tutorial, at least list
a few of the ones that you found to show that you've done a little work
yourself.

Subject: Re: how to you use costom tags in jsp.
Ok now i'm in java.sun.com. On the left I see
Products, Develoer, Docs&Train, Online Support, Industry, Solutions, Case
Studies.
Also I then see Press, Java Tutorial, etc, etc. Hmmm let me click on Java
Tutorial.
How nice. JDK1.1 and Beyond!. Nothing about Taglib's there. Let me go
back, and try something else. Docs and Training. So where do I go from
here? Well I guess I would click on Other Java Technologies. Still
nothing let's go back. Now let's try optional packages. Well gee I
remember reading something about taglib's having to deal with servlet's so
I'll go there. Ah Java Servlet Technology Let's goto Product Info.
Nothing again.
My whole point? Java.sun.com is a tangled mess. Of course you can use
the messy search tool. So was pointing him to java.sun.com any help?
Sure you did the patented RTFM routine. You just forgot to mention which
manual :-).
