Tomcat5.5.17 not releasing custom JSP tags ?

["Laurent Perez" <hakimm (at) gmail.com>]

Hi

A webapp I'm working on uses custom JSP tags (1.2) under tomcat
5.5.17. I ran into the following problem : custom <b> tag is supposed
to have custom <a> tags as children :

<b><a/><a/></b>

<b> has a addChild(Tag tag) method, doing children.add(tag);
<b> doStartTag() inits its children container : children = new ArrayList();
<a> doStartTag() gives itself to his <b> parent :
((b)getParent()).addChild(this)
both <b> and <a> extend BodyTagSupport

Now, the problem is that the this in addChild(this) always references
the same <a> handler, when I toString() it, it always shows "a (at) 1234".
I tried to force a release with super.release() in <a> doStartTag()
but it doesn't help. I disabled tag pooling and it doesn't help.

Is it impossible for a tag to pass itself onto another parent tag ?
Can I only pass attributes or bodycontent between tags, not tags
themselves ?

thanks !
