JSP 2.0 Custom Tags and Spring Form Tags integration problem

[cystelcom]

Hello,

I have an application where I encapsulate a specific form tags technology (Spring Form Tags in this case) by JSP 2.0 custom tags.

I have encountered the next problem with the Spring Form Tags 'option' and 'select':

Caused by: javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspExce
ption: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The 'option' tag can only be
 used inside a valid 'select' tag.

        at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:393)
        ... 69 more

I'm going to describe the components that I use:


I have two files select.tag and option.tag where I encapsulate the select and option Spring Form Tags:

select.tag

<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jspf/taglibs.jspf" %>

<%@ tag body-content="scriptless" trimDirectiveWhitespaces="true" %>

<%@ attribute name="path" required="true"%>
<%@ attribute name="label" required="true"%>
<%@ attribute name="required" required="false"%>

<dt>
	<springform:label path="${path}">
		<c:if test='${required}'><span class="required">*</span></c:if><fmt:message key="${label}" />:
	</springform:label>
</dt>
<dd>
	<springform:select cssStyle="field" path="${path}">
	   	<jsp:doBody />
	</springform:select>
	<div class="error"><springform:errors path="${path}" /></div>
</dd>

option.tag

<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jspf/taglibs.jspf" %>

<%@ tag body-content="empty" trimDirectiveWhitespaces="true" %>

<%@ attribute name="label" required="false" %>
<%@ attribute name="value" required="true" %>
<%@ attribute name="text" required="false" %>

<c:if test="${label == null}">
	<c:set var="label" value="${value}" />
</c:if>

<springform:option label="${label}" value="${value}" />

One the fragments of code where I use that custom tags is this:

...
<form:select label="tts.voice.gender" path="TTSServerConfig.gender">
	<c:forEach items="${genderList}" var="gender">
		<form:option value="${gender}" label="tts.voice.gender.${gender}" />
	</c:forEach>
</form:select>
...

Note that the prefix tag 'form' refers to my custom JSP 2.0 tags and the prefix tag 'springform' refers to Spring Form Tags. That is defined in the file taglibs.jspf

With other spring tags as 'input', 'checkbox' and others I didn't encountered problems.


Does anybody knows how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.
