<h2>How to write tag plugins</h2>
|
<p>
|
To write a plugin, you'll need to download the source for Tomcat.
|
There are two steps:
|
<ol>
|
<li>
|
Implement the plugin class.<p/>
|
This class, which implements
|
<tt>org.apache.jasper.compiler.tagplugin.TagPlugin</tt>
|
instructs Jasper what Java codes to generate in place of the tag
|
handler calls.
|
See Javadoc for <tt>org.apache.jasper.compiler.tagplugin.TagPlugin</tt>
|
for details.
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
Create the plugin descriptor file <tt> WEB-INF/tagPlugins.xml</tt><p/>
|
This file
|
specifies the plugin classes and their corresponding tag handler
|
classes.
|
</li>
|
</ol>
