Hello,
I work on building a tool to help develop tag libraries (the Netbeans
/ Forte for Java tag library editor), and would like to ask some
questions about how people build tag libraries, in order to provide
better tool support for creating and using tag libraries.
I realize this is a list for people who use the jakarta tag libraries,
but I'm guessing that there are some tag library developers here
as well. And if your name is Shawn Bayern, I realize that I'm not going to be
able to build a tool sophisticated enough to help you much :-)
Please take a few minutes to tell me a little bit about your process
of builing tag libraries:
1. What kinds of tag libraries do you build?
- what do they do?
- how big are they?
- are they multi-developer efforts?
- are you building tag libraries that integrate with JSTL using the
JSTL APIs?
- are they intended to be reused over several projects or web
applications?
2. What is the development process?
- is there a "division of labor" between tag library writers and
JSP writers?
- what does your edit - test - debug cycle look like?
- do you develop them in-place in a web module, or develop
them outside, package into a jar, and then copy the jar into the
web module?
3. What tools do you use to write them? How well do they match your
development process.
Thank you for your time,
Simran Gleason
