REPORT #424 Details.

Project: Tomcat
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: high
Severity: critical
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: 3.1
   JVM Release: 1.2
   Operating System: Windows NT
   OS Release: 4.0
   Platform: Intel

Synopsis: 
Tomcat does not see derived setter methods of tag handlers

Description:
Let's say that I have two classes. The first one is the base class to provide basic attributes for the tag handler I'm implementing. The second one is the actual tag handler to be used in the page. Here is how the code will look like.

class A extends TagSupport {
   public void setAttrib(int x) { ... }
}

class B extends A {
   ...
}

Assume further that I have the proper TLD file to specify tat "Attrib" is a translation-time attribute. Tomcat does not see the method setAttrib() in class B. What I'm getting is just IllegalAccessException.

If I were to override the setAttrib() method in B, then Tomcat can see it.
