    This document discusses custom tags in JavaServer Pages (JSP). It covers tag libraries, the custom tag development process, an example custom tag, tag interfaces and classes, the custom tag event model, and how to access implicit variables. The custom tag development process involves writing a tag handler class, defining the tag in a Tag Library Descriptor (TLD) file, configuring the TLD location in web.xml, and using the tag in a JSP page.

    Tag Extension Mechanism
    • Enables creation of custom tags
    • Java code can be avoided using custom tags
    • The different terminologies related to tag
    extension mechanism are:
    – Tag library
    – TLD
    – Custom action
    – Custom

    Custom Tags 3/14


    Tag extension mechanism..
    • Tag library is a
    collection of custom
    actions and tags
    • Custom tag
    encapsulates complex
    recurring code.
    • Custom tag invokes a
    custom action

    Custom Tags 4/14


    Custom Tags
    • Separates the work profiles of Web designers
    and developers
    • Custom tags can be reused
    • Written using XML syntax
    • The different types of custom tags are:
    – Empty tag
    – Tag with attributes
    – Body tags

    Custom Tags 5/14


    Custom Tags…
    • The function of the tag can be customized
    using the attributes in the custom tags
    • TLD file contains the details of the tag
    attributes
    • Custom tag body can include static text,
    HTML, and JSP elements like scriptlets,
    between the start and the end tag.

    Custom Tags 6/14


    The Custom Tag Development Process
    • There are four essential steps to writing a
    custom tag for use in your JavaServer Pages:
    – Writing a Java class called a tag handler
    – Defining the tag within a tag library definition
    (TLD) file.
    – Providing details of where to find the TLD file in
    the deployment descriptor, web.xml
    – Referencing the TLD file in your JSP page source
    and using the tags from it.

    Custom Tags 7/14


    Hunting the Tag
    taglib uri declaration in
    JSP page maps to <taglib-uri>
    in deployment descriptor.

    JSP Document
    <html>
    <body> Web Deployment Descriptor
    <%@taglib uri="test_taglib" prefix="myTag"%> <web-app>
    <myTag:showDate/> <taglib>
    </body> <taglib-uri> test_taglib </taglib-uri>
    </html> <taglib-location>
    /WEB-INF/myown-taglib.tld
    START HERE: tag used in JSP page. </taglib-location>
    </taglib>
    </web-app>
    Tag Library Descriptor
    <taglib>
    <taglib-location> in
    <tag>
    deployment descriptor maps to
    <name>showDate</name>
    the real tag library descriptor file.
    <tagclass>examples.ShowDateTag</tagclass>
    <bodycontent>EMPTY</bodycontent>
    </tag> Tag Handler Class
    </taglib> 1000001000000010101010
    0000101010100000010010
    Finally: 1000011111111000000000
    <tag-class> in the TLD maps to 1000001000000010101010
    a tag handler class. 0000101010100000010010

    Tags and Implicit Variables
    • Using the PageContext API we can write tag
    handler code to access the JSP implicit
    variables and access web application
    attributes.
