Role Separation with Custom Tags
Andrew Patzer · Apress eBooks · 2004
The previous chapter introduced using JavaBeans within your JSP pages to help separate Java code from the presentation template, which is the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) page. Now you’re going to take this idea a step further and see how you can encapsulate your Java code inside custom tags. These tags are similar to the set of JSP tags you’ve been using. The only difference is that you get to define their behavior by attaching special tag handlers to them. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
