Re: HTML:tags in a Tag

2005-04-21 Thread Dakota Jack
The coding of Tag classes is actually not a very difficult thing to
learn.  I recommend you take a look at the source from Abey
Mullassery's image tags in commons sandbox to see how you can do all
this.  It really is not hard.  After about ten minutes study and ten
minutes coding, I had successfully subclassed the  class
to do some custom stuff I wanted.

In doEndTag() I have some code like:

String includeFile = "/shared/tagsupport/somepage.jsp?somearg=" +
someargval;

pageContext.include(includeFile );

return EVAL_PAGE;

And that's it. What isn't working for you?

RE: HTML:tags in a Tag

2005-04-20 Thread Scott Purcell
Hello David,

I had some display that could use a bit of logic. So instead of creating a jsp 
page with a lot of logic, I thought it would e cleaner to create a class that 
extends Tag, and use this for my logic, and of course for reuse.

Here is a pieceof the code from a method inside a Tag class.


   public void draw(JspWriter out, DealerGroupBean groupBean) throws Exception {
 out.println("draw method called.");

 out.println("");
 out.println("");
 out.println("");
 out.println("" + 
groupBean.getGroupName() + "");
 out.println("");
 out.println("");
 out.println("");
 out.println("");
 out.println("");




I could just use HTML code, but I like using the html:img tags, etc. But it 
just prints what it sees, in my case, no images, just the code in the src.



Thanks,
Scott

Can you elaborate a bit on this?  I couldn't get this to work when I was
trying it, but maybe I didn't do what you are doing.

It would be great to get this to work - I have a need to do this in our

RE: HTML:tags in a Tag

2005-04-20 Thread Fogleson, Allen
Scott,

The short answer is you can't use a "tag" in a taglib class.. however
there are ways "around" that. You could subclass the tag so that the
processing can still occur. You could (though this would likely be
messy) call the taglibs classes yourself. But you would basically then
have to manage the lifecycle. Like I said messy.

Subject: HTML:tags in a Tag

Hello,

While finishing up a project, I found the need to create a Tag to use in
my JSP file.

Problem is, I have created all view using the HTML:tags. Can the
HTML:tags be used in a Tag file? In my tag, I have access to a
JspWriter, but I am not sure how to use the tags in the class, since it
is a class.

Can this be done? Any ideas of workarounds?

Thanks,
