Overview

This book is a guide to the recently introduced Java Tag Extension API, illustrated by real-life case studies. A fairly complete approach to JSP programming is provided, with a discussion of its shortcomings and how these can be addressed by employing tag libraries. It will discuss modeling and designing applications based on these technologies, then provide a specific implementation (Jakarta STRUTS).

This book goes well beyond other resources on JSP, which contain at most a single chapter on tag libraries. The explanation of tag library technology and examples of its implementation will help bring new capabilities to current JSP programmers

Editorials

Tag libraries are built on top of the Servlet/Java Server Page (JSP) APIs and aim to provide modularization and reuse of processes to the JSP design area. This relieves the Web content designer of the responsibility of writing scriptlets and affects the way pages are designed. This handbook explains the use of these new APIs and discusses ways to create custom tags and tag libraries to encapsulate reoccurring processes. The author cautions that this is not a work for those concerned with XML development as that material has been covered elsewhere. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
