<h2>Tag Plugins: Introductory Notes</h2>
|
<p>
|
Tomcat provides a framework for implementing tag plugins. The
|
plugins instruct Jasper, at translation time, to replace tag handler
|
calls with Java scriptlets.
|
The framework allows tag library authors to implement plugins for
|
their tags.
|
</p>
|
<p>
|
Tomcat is released with plugins for several JSTL tags. Note
|
that these plugins work with JSTL 1.1 as well as JSTL 1.0, though
|
the examples uses JSTL 1.1 and JSP 2.0.
|
These plugins are not complete (for instance, some item types are not
|
handled in <c:if>).
|
They do serve as examples to show plugins in action (just
|
examine the generated Java files), and how they can be implemented.
