Custom Tag with script in attribute.

Hi,
          I use a custom tag in which an attribute is generated dynamicly.But it
          doesn't work.
          Here is the sample:
          <tlt:MyTag MyAttr="<%= "abc"%>" />
          the result is MyTag doesn't work correctly but output <tlt:MyTag
          MyAttr="abc" /> in the browser source file.My server is wls5.1 sp6.
          Can I use this approach?

          That's because the value of MyAttr attribute is included in the same
          quotes as the value of the expression. Change the line to:
          <tlt:MyTag MyAttr='<%= "abc"%>' />
          and it should do the trick.

          Oh, I see. You didn't specify that the page uses the Tag Library which
          is done by
          <%@ taglib uri="/uri_to_your_TLD" prefix="tlt" %>
          Another mistake is that the name of the "MyAttr" attribute begins with
          the uppercase letter, so at the end the page compilation will result
          with an error saying that appropriate attribute won't be found or so.
          Change the name of "MyAttr" to "myAttr" or whatever you like, but it
          must start with the lowercase letter.
          Take a look at JavaServer Pages specification available at
          http://java.sun.com/products/jsp. There you can find loads of answers,
          esp. a chapter about Tag Extenstions.

  • Custom tag with rendered attribute

    Is it possible to create a custom tag that operates similar to a JSF tag with the rendered attribute? Wrapping output with c:if test="..." is not as nice as the JSF rendered option, but I don't want to use JSF for this particular project.

    TLD File, per your previous recommendation:
    <attribute>
         <name>disabled</name>
         <required>false</required>
         <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
         <type>boolean</type>
    </attribute>My Tag class (snippet):
    public class ButtonTag extends TagSupport
      private boolean disabled;
      public ButtonTag() {}
      public boolean isDisabled()
         return disabled;
      public void setDisabled(boolean b)
        disabled = b;
    }A sample of the jsp file invoking it:
    <c:set var="result" value="${computedValue}"/>
    <ltm:button disabled="${result}"/>Regardless of the value of result, ("true" or "false") it always passes false to the setDisabled method of the button tag class.

  • .exception.JspParseExcept Cannot parse custom tag with short name [out].

    Hi
         I have almost migrated an application from jboss to CE 7.1 sp3 maxdb 32 bit
         however I am getting the following error on c:out tag of standard jslt.
    Runtime error in processing of the JSP file [C:\usr\sap\CE1\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\<....>\servlet_jsp\<application_context_name>\root\jsp\view\<jsp_name>.jsp].
    Line:----
    The error is: com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.jspparser_api.exception.JspParseException: Cannot parse custom tag with short name [out].02004C4F4F50001F0000002D000012B000B0688132009833
    Line:----
    Do anybody have some idea why is it happening.
    My guess would be because of jslt version mismatch. but its working fine in jboss. I am not sure what version cE 7.1 support may be 1.2. any idea how to chek the supported version in the server.
    The jsp code is something like
    Line:----
    <code>
    <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
    <%@ taglib prefix="c_rt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" %>
    <c:url var="thumbnailStream" value="/do/<action_tag>">
               <c_rt:param name="stream_id"      value="<%= <variable1> %>"/>
               <c:param    name="stream_id_type" value="<variable2>"/>
               <c:param    name="content_kind"   value="<variable3>"/>
            </c:url>
    <img border="0" src="<c:out value="$"/>">
    </code>
    Line:----
      from the SAP help text its said that jslt is being overrided by server to use from global library rather than local webapplication library. Couls woud explain where is this global library located in the server directory.
    Thx.

  • Using a custom tag with a 2.3 servlet descriptor BUG?

    Hi,
    I just developed a Custom Tag and I'd like to use in my jsps.
    If I add the jsp in my JDev project with the custom tag when I try to build the project I got this error:
    Error(11): oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid element 'listener' in content of 'web-app', expected elements '[context-param, servlet, servlet-mapping, session-config, mime-mapping, welcome-file-list, error-page, taglib, resource-ref, security-constraint, login-config, security-role, env-entry, ejb-ref]'.
    It seems like when the jsp parser encounters the line with taglib it tries to parse the web.xml against a 2.2 version of the dtd. My web.xml begins with the correct dtd version (2.3). Can anyone tell me if this is a bug and eventually tell me how to solve it?
    thanks,
    Giovanni

    I repost this issue again, now with a simple test case.
    If I wrote a simple custom tag:
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport;
    public class MyCustomTag extends TagSupport {
    public int doStartTag() {
    try {
    pageContext.getOut().print("FOO");
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
    pageContext.getServletContext().log(ioe.getMessage(),ioe);
    return(SKIP_BODY);
    with the associated tld:
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
    <taglib>
    <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion>
    <jspversion>1.2</jspversion>
    <shortname>try</shortname>
    <uri>try</uri>
    <info>A short description...</info>
    <tag>
    <name>mytag</name>
    <tagclass>MyCustomTag</tagclass>
    <bodycontent>EMPTY</bodycontent>
    </tag>
    </taglib>
    and a jsp using the custom tag:
    <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <TITLE>
    Hello World
    </TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H2>
    The current time is:
    </H2>
    <P>
    <% out.println((new java.util.Date()).toString()); %>
    <%@ taglib uri="try.tld" prefix="try" %>
    <try:mytag />
    </P>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    I get the error I report in my last post. (the jsp doesn't compile) If I remove the custom tag from my jsp all works fine (filters, listeners,etc). In my project settings I use the 2.3 version of servlet.jar instead of the ServletRuntime that comes with JDeveloper.
    Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue (Using simple custom tag with a web application using the 2.3 servlet specs)?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Tomcat 4.1.12 and custom tags with body

    Hi,
    I had deployed one application in tomcat 3.3.1 which used custom tags with body, and it worked fine, However recently I upgraded that application to tomcat-4.1.12
    and the tags with body stopped giving expected behaviour, however the tags without body are giving expected behaviour, I had a look at generated jsp file...

    Hi,
    I am able to resolve it,
    Actually I was using the body content as tagdependent instead of jsp.
    However the body content tagdependent works in Tomcat 3.3.1 and weblogic 5.1, 6.0.
    Anyway...

  • Custom Tag with boolean Attribute problems

    Hi,
    I've created a simple custom tag that is expecting a boolean attribute called "disabled". In my Tag derived class I've created a setDisabled(boolean b) method and set the following in the tag descriptor:
    <attribute>
         <name>disabled</name>
         <required>false</required>
         <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
    </attribute>I'm using a JSTL expression "${someExpression}" which, when I do a c:out on the value, returns true.
    I call the tag like this:
    <mytag disabled="${someExpression}"/>However, in my custom tag class the value is passed as false. I can get true passed in if I hard code it, but that isn't going to work.
    I've tried a number of different combinations and even read through this forum for the last 2 hours and cannot seem to figure it out.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    John

    TLD File, per your previous recommendation:
    <attribute>
         <name>disabled</name>
         <required>false</required>
         <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
         <type>boolean</type>
    </attribute>My Tag class (snippet):
    public class ButtonTag extends TagSupport
      private boolean disabled;
      public ButtonTag() {}
      public boolean isDisabled()
         return disabled;
      public void setDisabled(boolean b)
        disabled = b;
    }A sample of the jsp file invoking it:
    <c:set var="result" value="${computedValue}"/>
    <ltm:button disabled="${result}"/>Regardless of the value of result, ("true" or "false") it always passes false to the setDisabled method of the button tag class.

  • Custom tag with struts

    Hi
    I would like to create a custom tag that will print this section of html with struts:<tr>
         <td class="f_name"><bean:message bundle="fields" key="firstName" /></td>
         <td class="f_value"><html:text property="firstName" /></td>
    </tr>This means that i sould pass to the custom tag the folowing attributes:
    1. bundle - the bundle name to use ("fields").
    2. property - the name of the submitted filed and the key in the bundle resource ("firstName").
    This is how i want to use it:<html:form action="/register.do" enctype="UTF-8">
    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="t_details">
    <mytld:text bundle="fields" key="firstName"/>
    <mytld:text bundle="fields" key="lastName"/>
    </html:form>For me, this way looks much easier to develop my application/s, don't you agree?
    The problem is that i can't (or i don't know how) to use custom tags in other a custom tag, and if i include a jsp file (with pageContext.indlude("url");), how do i pass the attributes to the jsp page?
    Thanks a lot
    mamtz

    Interesting answer, i'll put it in my mind, but this is not what i ment :) (nice thinking...)
    what i ment was, html:text tag has many attributes like: property, name, alt, size, maxLength and so on...
    i would like sometimes to use size or maxLength and sometimes not.
    take a look at what i wrote:<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
    <%
         String property=""+request.getAttribute("property");
         String bundle=""+request.getAttribute("bundle");
         Object max=request.getAttribute("maxLength");
         String maxLength= max==null ? "" : ""+max;
         Object s=request.getAttribute("size");
         String size= s==null ? "" : ""+s;
    %>
         <tr>
              <td class="f_name"><bean:message bundle="<%=bundle%>" key="<%=property%>" /></td>
    <%     if(max!=null && s!=null){
    %>          <td class="f_value"><html:text property="<%=property%>" maxlength="<%=maxLength%>" size="<%=size%>" /></td>
    <%     }else if(max!=null){
    %>          <td class="f_value"><html:text property="<%=property%>" maxlength="<%=maxLength%>" /></td>
    <%     }else if(s!=null){
    %>          <td class="f_value"><html:text property="<%=property%>" size="<%=size%>" /></td>
    <%     }else{
    %>          <td class="f_value"><html:text property="<%=property%>" /></td>
    <%     }
    %>     </tr>pretty complicated, is'nt it?
    think what would happen if i would like to add just one more attribute...

    <tGrid:gridFields viewname="view1" isDefault="true" fields="Symbol,Quantity,Security Description,Account Type"/>
    </html>
    The problem here, the tag handler class is not getting invoked, i do not get the HTML content from it.
    I understand like we need to add 'taglib.xml' file as below, and register as config files in servlet context param.
    <tag>
    <tag-name>gridFields </tag-name>
    <handler-class>
    xyz.Grid
    </handler-class>
    </tag>
    I have collected the attributes and kept as TagAttribute in Grid handler class..
    But how could i invoke the custom handler class that had implemented TagSupport and start its own life cycle.
    Please help me out.
    Thanks

    Okay. so we cannot use any legacy custom tags and we need to duplicate the code into a new facelets handler class and add into tablig.xml file. is my understanding correct.?
    By the way, JSTL tags like <c:out> <c:if> are being identified by facelets view handler. How this cud have been supported by it?
    Thanks

  • Using EL in custom tag with JSP1.2 container

    I search the the Forum here and Google for a method how I can use expression language in my custom tag. But I have to use a JSP1.2 container which makes it quite difficult. What I need is startsWith-Tag which looks like this.
    <str:startsWith condition1="${sql.rows[0].MY_COLUMN}" condition2="MyCondition">
    </str:startsWith>Right now my tag works, but instead of the database of MY_COLUMN the string ${sql.rows[0].MY_COLUMN} is submitted.
    In the TLD I specified rtexprvalue with true. My custom tag extends javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.ConditionalTagSupport.
    What I read here was that I have to evaluate the el expression myself, but how do I do this? I hope someone can give me a hint how to make the tag working correctly.
    TIA
    Axel

    You might find the source code of MicroNova YUZU (http://sourceforge.net/projects/micronova-yuzu) useful. It is an EL-based tag library that supports both JSP 1.2 and 2.0. See "jsp12" and "jsp20" subdirectories for version-specific EL handling. Hope this helps.

  • Custom Tag with open body loop

    Hi
    I'm fairly new to custom tags. I want to do something like the following
    index.jsp
    <mytag:allItems>
    ${item.name} ${item.url}
    </mytag:allItems>
    At the moment I have the following which works fine
    menu.tag
    <jsp:useBean id="items" class="com.content.urls"/>
    <c:forEach var="menuItem" items="${items.attachedItems}">
    ${menuItem.name}
    </c:forEach>
    index.jsp
    <mytags:menu />
    The bean returns a list and the tag file produces the urls which is great. However what I would like to do is using the example above not have the content of the loop fixed. For exmaple I could do
    <mytag:allItems>
    ${item.name}
    </mytag:allItems>
    or
    <mytags:menu>
    <li>${item.name}</li>
    </mytags:menu>
    I would also like to leave it so that closing the tag would still produce the list of urls as a default.
    any help much appreciated.

    Rob - replace your forEach with:
    <c:forEach var="menuItem" items="${items.attachedItems}">
        <%@ variable name-given="menuItem" scope="NESTED" %>
        <jsp:doBody />
    </c:forEach>The key here is that the menuItem variable is then exposed to the tag body before it is output.
    then your jsp will be:
    <mytag:allItems>
        <a href="${menuItem.url}">${menuItem.name}</a>
    </mytag:allItems>To do the last bit - you just need to define a variable for the body and then test whether it is set:
    <jsp:doBody var="body" />
    <c:forEach var="menuItem" items="${items}">
        <c:if test="${not empty body}">
            <%@ variable name-given="menuItem" scope="NESTED" %>
            <jsp:doBody />
        </c:if>
        <c:if test="${empty body}">
             <a href="${menuItem.path}">${menuItem.name}</a>
        </c:if>
    </c:forEach>Peter.

  • How to prepare Custom tag with scope as  session  like Struts tag

    Hi
    All Struts tags having the feature of Automatic Scoping.
    Automatic Scoping: Struts tags check all contexts (namely page, request, session, application) and use the first instance found. Developers do not have to explicitly "retrieve" objects from a particular scope. They may, however, specify a context.
    same as like struts tag I want to preapre 'select custom tag'.which will retrieve its previous selected value automatically and display.And one important thing is I dont want to set the selected value of custom tag in session expicitly.I mean the custom tag it self should take care to set the session vale and retrieve the sesion value and display like Struts tag . For struts select tag we wont set any selected value in session though it will retrieve the previous value and display when scope of form = session

  • Custom tag with no body

     

    The method in your tag handler that is processing your tag (doStartTag()?
              doAfterBody()? doEndTag()?), should return SKIP_BODY if you don't want the
              tag handler to process the body. In your example it doesn't have a body
              anyway, so I guess you should still return SKIP_BODY.
              Hope this helps,
              Kevin Hooke
