a question about Tag Files in HFSJ (2nd ed)

[icepeanuts]

I found a question about Tag Files in Head First Servlets and JSP (2nd edition).

Given a tag, simpleTag, whose handler is implemented using the Simple tag model
and a tag, complexTag, whose handler is implemented using the Classic tag model.
Both tags are declared to be non-empty and non-tag dependent in the TLD.
Which JSP code snippets are valid uses of these tag?

A. <my:simpleTag>
<my:complexTag />
</my:simpleTag>

The answer says this option is correct. But I don't think it is correct because "Both tags are declared to be non-empty and non-tag dependent in the TLD". It is obvious that the my:complexTag is invoked without a body. Am I right?

Non-empty doesn't mean you have to have something in the body. It can be empty as well.
But did you check with the authors? What did they say?

thank you,
