Synopsis

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)

About the Author

Wellington L. S. da Silva has been working with servlet-based development since their introduction in 1997. He has been actively involved in many open source projects throughout the years.

In addition, Wellington works actively with the TOMCAT Servlet Container and platform project. Has been also an active member of the Jakarta STRUTS Project and has developed the FBBuilder tool for STRUTS and the AAS application, discussed in the book, within that framework. Wellington has over 14 years of client-server application development experience in SQL, Delphi-Pascal and C/C++ for the Windows platform, and with popular databases such as DB2 and Oracle. He has collected prizes and nominations for his work in network development and administration in the late 80's and early 90's. The last 6 years have been dedicated to web collaborative applications development.

From the Back Cover

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
