JSP Tag Wizards 4.0 (Snippet ID 23500)

Keith Wood

A JBuilder OpenTool that provides two wizards for developing JSP tag libraries. They support JSP 1.1, JSP 1.2, and now JSP 2.0.

JSP Tag Class Generator

A wizard that creates classes that implement the Tag, BodyTag, or SimpleTag interfaces (from the javax.servlet.jsp.tagext package). You can also generate TagExtraInfo classes to support your tags.

You can specify the type of functionality required of the tag (nested in another tag, looping, updates its body, handles its own errors, accepts any attributes, etc) and enter a list of attributes that it accepts.

Taglib Descriptor Generator

A wizard that adds an Ant build file to your project that uses XDoclet to create the tag library descriptor file from special comments in your tag classes. You will need to download the XDoclet libraries before the Ant file will build successfully.

The wizard also installs several code templates to facilitate the insertion of the required comments in your tag classes.

Just copy the JAR file to the JBuilder/lib/ext directory, and restart JBuilder to install the tool. Both the wizards appear in the Object Gallery (File | New on the menu) on the Web tab.
