A custom tag is a user-defined JSP language element. When a
JSP page containing a custom tag is translated into a
servlet, the tag is converted to operations on an object
called a tag handler
ex-bodyless tag 2 tags with body
1<tagName attributeName="value"
anotherAttributeName="anotherValue"/>
2.<tagName attributeName="value"
anotherAttributeName="anotherValue">
...tag body...
</tagName>

Answer / rex
JSP technology also provides a mechanism for encapsulating other types of dynamic functionality in custom tags, which are extensions to the JSP language. Custom tags are usually distributed in the form of a tag library, which defines a set of related custom tags and contains the objects that implement the tags.
