Easy Custom Tags With Tag Files, Part 2
Overview Two new features in JSP 2.0 deal with custom tag libraries. The first is the new javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.SimpleTag interface, which simplifies the life-cycle of a tag handler. The second feature simplifies the whole process of writing tag extensions entirely. The latter is a radical change. For the first time, the programmers don't need a tag library descriptor for the custom tags. Nor do they have to compile the tag handlers. Now, even those who don't understand Java can write custom tags. This paper covers more advanced features of the tag files, such as the variable directive, the jsp:doBody, and jsp:invoke actions, as well as how to package tag files into a JAR so they can be easily deployed.
