| <title>Tag Plugin Introduction</title> |
| <h2>Tag Plugins: Introductory Notes</h2> |
| <p> |
| Tomcat 5 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 5 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 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. |
