| Classes and interfaces for the definition of JavaServer Pages Tag Libraries. |
| |
| <p> |
| The JavaServer Pages(tm) (JSP) 2.0 specification provides a portable |
| mechanism for the description of tag libraries. |
| <p> |
| A JSP tag library contains |
| <ul> |
| <li>A Tag Library Descriptor</li> |
| <li>A number of Tag Files or Tag handler classes defining |
| request-time behavior</li> |
| <li>Additional classes and resources used at runtime</li> |
| <li>Possibly some additional classes to provide extra translation |
| information</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| The JSP 2.0 specification and the reference implementation both contain |
| simple and moderately complex examples of actions defined using this |
| mechanism. These are available at JSP's web site, at |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp">http://java.sun.com/products/jsp</a>. |
| Some readers may want to consult those to get a quick feel for how |
| the mechanisms work together. |
