| <title>Tag Plugin Implementation</title> |
| <h2>How to write tag plugins</h2> |
| <p> |
| To write a plugin, you'll need to download the source for Tomcat 5. |
| 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> |
