Help with JSP Tag Libraries

Could someone please help me with the setup process of tag libraries? I've looked on the Internet and found some instructions, but they are all for Tomcat. I'm using Jserv, and I'm not sure how to setup my environment to work with custom/tag libraries. Could someone help me by giving me some instructions or sending me to an article that could help me?
Thanks in advance!

Hi pvongboupha
The best source for getting to know how to set up tag libraries is the JSP specification. You can download this from :
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html
See the chapter on Tag libraries. Any J2EE compliant server will conform to these rules.
You can also see a chapter from Core Servlets & JSP by Marty Hall. This chapter is on Tag Libraries
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaserverpages/cservletsjsp/
Keep me posted on your progress.
Good Luck!

  • Jsp tag libraries

    hi All,
    I am receiving an error when i come to start a jsp page, it returns null pointer exception. so when I checked it is coming from the JSP tag Libraries. instead of the jsp libraries there is a null pointer exception . so any clue how to fix that ?
    thanks
    Amgad

    Yes, marika, download the Jakarta JSTL implementation, unzip it, and put it everything in its /lib directory in your WEB-INF/lib. Then you can refer to the taglib in your JSPs like this:
    <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>That's all you need to do. No <taglib> in your web.xml or anything else. - MOD

    Please help me.....

    Actually you're probably off on a false trail with jsp:useBean. The more up to date methods use tag libraries (typically JSTL) and access bean attributes using EL, bean expression language. E.g. you put your initial form data into a request attribute called "data" and you put:
    <input type="text" name="property1" value="${data.property1}" ....useBean is no use for binding returned fields from a form. Always remember that your JSP generates HTML and once that HTML is sent to the browser that's it, the JSP has done it's job and finished. Only with JSF, at present, does what you write in your JSP affect the processing of received form data. When you get the form data back you need to "bind" the values from the request back to the bean. A framework like Spring will do this stuff for you, but in a raw Servlet/JSP environment it's up to you.

  • JSP, Tag Libraries, Tomcat 4.1

    Due to an internal decision to place all content within certain categories: for example, we would like all our JSP pages to be in one directory, our TLD files to be in one directory, our images to be in one directory, etc. I would like to be able to set up two Tomcat Contexts (sites). One for /jsp and one for /tld. Is it possible to load the tld and tag class handler in one context and the jsp in another context and call the tag handler even though they are in separate sites? The first reaction someone might have is to just place everything in separate directories under the same context. Well, we do not want to do this because we do not want to use relative URLs. Our testing systems are Window 2000 so it is not a big deal. But our production server is OPENVMS. We want to use aliases for everything. /jsp for JSP pages. /tld for tag libraries, etc. Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Yes, this is a follow-up question to my initial question. However, I was trying to take a different approach after reading the inital comments and doing lots and lots of stupid little tests.
    I have tried all three methods of using the mappings that you have suggested. And in every case, I cannot get the JSP page to recognize the location of the TLD from the URI unless I use a context in Tomcat or a relative URL for the URI declaration in the JSP page. So I must be doing something wrong. I am going to post what information is not business sensitive and see if you can find an error.
    However, with that being said. We have a specific alias/directory structure we must maintain on the OPEN VMS system. In order to do so, so we can maintain a programmer and a "live" environment we must be able to use these aliases for all our file types. Don't get me wrong, we can use these alias' within the same context of Tomcat, but we must make sure that we can still access or JSP, TLD, and servlets using some sort of alias and NOT using relative URLs. All the dynamic stuff in Tomcat while trying to use Apache for the static content. On OPENVMS, there are things called logicals which can basically be set up as an alias. The logical can point to a specific value, a directory, a group of directories, or even a specific file name or command procedure or anything else you can logically use it for. We have to use these logicals in order to set up our site. These logicals are part of the system security of OPENVMS and this helps us determine which enviroment we need to use for which user.
    Hope this gives a bit more informed information.
    Currently, the tld and .class file are packaged into a webMenuTag.jar file in the "vsjsp" site.
    There are no references to the TLD or Tag Library in the web.xml file. So here is the tld file and also the snippet of the jsp file. The class file is called webMenuTagHandler.class.
    Thank you.

  • Help with JSP and logic:iterate

    I have some queries hope someone can help me.
    I have a jsp page call request.jsp:
    ====================================

    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>

    And I have the RequestData.java file:
    ======================================
    private int requestID = 1234;
    public int getRequestID() { return requestID; }
    The jsp page display:
    ======================
    0 RequestData@590510

    0 RequestData@12d7ae
    0 RequestData@e1666
    Seems like the requestID is not returned. Does anybody know this?
    I have done the exact one using JSP and servlets, trying to learn using JSP and custom tags. The one with JSP and servlet looks like:
    ============================================
    <%@ page import="RequestData" %>
    <%Iterator data = (Iterator)request.getAttribute("Data");
    while (data.hasNext()) {
       RequestData RD = (RequestData)data.next();
       out.println(RD.getRequestID() );
    }%>

    Oh think I got it...
    but one thing I'm not sure is...
    If I use "<jsp:useBean id="RD" class="RequestData" />", do I still need "<%@ page import="RequestData" %>"?
    I tried without and it gives me error...

  • Experiences developing iViews with JSP tags

    Hi,
    has anyone experiences in the development of iViews using JSPs and the JSP tags ? Especially the useBean tag... I think it should be no problem to store beans in the session. If I want to share the bean among iView is it enought to synchronized each method of the bean ?
    Thanks

    Hi O.,
    please, before going on guessing around what synchronization means, read some tutorial, that's what the link was thaught for. It is no problem at all not to know this topic, it's definitely some more advanced topic within the language, but it doesn't help if you don't know it to guess how it <i>could</i> work/behave.
    > if I declare all getters and setters of the bean with
    > synchronize I avoid the issue of inconsistent data
    Once again: For pure getters and setters this sentence is definitely wrong. As long as complex class members are not manipulated / accessed concurrently, there is no need for synchronization (within the class).
    > thread 1 sets a value a concurrent thread 2
    > could read the data and would get a not actual value...
    > if I synchronize the get and set, thread 2 will be
    > able to invoke the getter after thread 1 finished the
    > setter.
    Once again: You don't have it in your hands which thread comes first. And synchronizing a method only means that a thread calling this method will run through it as an atomic operation, no other thread will disturb. But getters and setters normally are atomic, you cannot reach more... If a thread calls two (synchronized) methods of the same object, between these two calls, "the race is open again...".
    A good example is http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-threads1.html
    See the example at the end of this link, that's somehow just what we are talking about. The solution would be to synchronize the <i>setFoo(getFoo() + 1)</i> itself (for example with the bean object as locker). Whereas the synchronization of the methods is superfluous (and time consuming).
    Hope it helps

    I don't see anywhere in your code where you conditionally output a tuple from your database. You seem to be outputting everything.
    Maybe you need:
    <% if (sSSN==input_value){ %>
    <TD><input TYPE="checkbox" name="<%=rowID %>" ></TD>
    <% } %>

  • Help with Creating 2 Libraries with iTunes

    Hi - I'm looking to create and use 2 separate libraries with iTunes on the same computer. Background: I have a large collection now of lossless files (AIFF), both CD rips (16bit/44.1kHz) and higher resolution audio (24bit/96kHz), which are very large files I use for streaming to an audiophile system (via a Logitech Transporter to DAC/processor, etc.). I also have several iPods and an AppleTV I use that have music, applications, video, etc. I want to primarily use what I'll call the "high resolution" library that only needs the music files, but from time to time switch over to a 2nd library I'll call "other" (which would contain smaller compressed music files more suitable for ipod, as well as ipod app's, video content for AppleTV). I would periodically load up the "Other" library to sync up ipods and AppleTV, but the vast majority of the time have the "high res" library open (as the Logitech Squeezecenter music server requires iTunes to be open at the same time with the appropriate library).
    So that's the background. Effectively just want to make a copy of the current library (to be "other"), downconvert all the music from the high res versions, make sure I keep all the apps and video, and clean up the original library. Couple questions - when running iTunes on the same computer with 2 different libraries (both can be on my iMac as I have a 1TB drive with adequate space for now), can I delete all the app's, AppleTV link, etc. from the "high res" library once copied? Also, what's the best method for copying the library (i.e., just create a new one and copy everything in with the appropriate preferences checked - "copy files to library"/"keep itunes folder organized"?)
    Thanks for any thoughts

    don't worry glad to help
    this could help you actually http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051119134344700
    but its very complicated and as i'm no expert in computer code i would wait to try it out before and expert in computer code has a look and see if its oky to use (you have to be VERY careful). By the way it comes from a trustworthy site so i'm sure its fine
    just be careful though (look at the comments below
    or this http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050215130254540

  • Help with jsp and frameset

    i have a dozen of asp pages which talk with MSSQL. I want to build an interactive menu with dozen of links ( probably like a tree structure with dozen nodes each pointing to these asp pages).
    1) I intend to build the menu in jsp using the tree structure available.
    My Question is when a user clicks on a node, i want the asp page to open in a frameset style, opening in a different frame.
    this is a fragment of the jsp tag:
    <ui:treeNode binding="#{Page1.treeNode1}" id="treeNode1" target="_parent" text="Tree Node 1" url="http://myserver/page1.asp">
    how do i change the target attribute so that it opens the asp page in a new frame?

    Build a page with 2 frames with one frame's name as say "left" and the other as "right". Assuming that you would want your menu jsp on the left, set the src of that frame to your menu jsp. and set the target as target="right" (name of your right frame) instead of _parent..                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • JSP Tag Libraries - Useful or not?

    Hello all,
    How popular are tag libraries? Are companies incorporating custom tag libraries? I just want to know if its worth learning in-depth.
    Thnx

    I know that taglibs can be very useful in at least two situations:
    1) For common HTML folk (ie: webpage designers, not software developers) taglibs can offer impressive functionality in comprehensive, simple tags. Hiding Java complexity from these people is a good thing...
    2) For sophisticated JSP pages it can be very useful to encapsulate repetitive and code-intensive functionality in tags as well, because this makes maintenance of your pages simpler (thus cheaper, since you spend less time on it).

  • Help with JSP Forward !!!

    I have 3 pages ...1) index.jsp 2) Forward.jsp 3) welcome.jsp
    I have 2 fields in the index.jsp once upon filling & hit submit it has to to go Forward.jsp page...in the Forward.jsp..i have coded only one tag with
    <jsp:forward page="welcome.jsp" />
    I have one question...once the page comes to Forward page...will it display the contents of the Welcome .jsp in the same page itself...or it will go to Welcome.jsp page..
    As i saw it will display the contents of Welcome.jsp page in itself...
    Please let me know...
    Regards
    Gnanesh

    I understand your question only because I have a set up totally identical to yours. The thread Matt suggested does explain the situation (i.e. the server passed control to another page but the client doesn't know that), but doesn't necessarily give a good solution a problem that you may have, and that I do have:
    If the user sees the welcome page, and for some reason decides to "reload", the forward page is re-executed, even though it has done its job. This could be a problem for session management if you specifically don't want that job being done twice in a session. Now you could hack around that, but I'd really rather see a neat solution. Is there one?

  • Help with JSP/Weblogic/Tomcat Discrepencies

    Hi,
              I have something very strange happening. I recently did some JSP stuff on
              WLS60SP1 and all went quite well. I then took those same JSP pages and tried
              them out on the latest release of TOMCAT. I was really impressed that
              everything seemed to be completely transparent and working just fine until
              the following situation:
              When I reference, within a JSP page, an object that has previously been
              added to the request scope that has just been created, but not messed with
              in anyway...meaning all the attributes in this bean have their default
              values set...and they are all Strings with the exception of one Integer
              using this format:
              <%= custVal.getCustomerNumber() %>
              - In WLS, what shows in the text field on the form is nothing, because
              customer number in the custVal object is null (default for a String)..this
              is what I want.
              - In Tomcat, what shows it the word "null".
              ...here is the weird part, by changing from scriptlet references to the
              <jsp:getProperty....> format such as....
              <jsp:getProperty name="custVal" property="customerNumber"/>
              -In WLS, he is still a happy camper and works just fine regardless of how I
              reference the bean
              -In Tomcat, I also get the correct results that I want.
              So, unlike most postings, I found out how to fix it but I would like to know
              why...any ideas?
              Thanks in advance,

  • Help with clicks tag

    I was ask to create an ad banner, I need help with how to track the web click on it, is it what the clicktag is for. What should I do, insert that code but where ?

    Create Clicktag AS 2.0
    1. Create animation
    2. Add new layer to very top of timeline. (must be at top) Label "clicktag" or Inv button. (It doesn't really matter what you label it)
    3. On first frame of this layer draw rectangle to cover full stage (may go beyond stage dimensions)
    4. Rectangle must have a fill color. You may delete frame around the box. (Make sure alpha slider has some fill percentage before you draw rectangle to enable fill)
    5. Convert this box to a button symbol.  Name clicktag (or button)
    6. Double click on this button or get to edit mode. Select color fill with solid arrow. Click on Properties panel/Fill color and adjust alpha to 0%.
    7. Go back to Scene. Click on first frame of clicktag layer. Select the now invisible button by surrounding with solid arrow tool.
    8. Select properties panel and click on arrow in circle to get Actions panel.
    9. Make sure Actions panel says ACTIONS-BUTTON at top of panel.
    10. Add coding from below:
    on (release) {
    getURL (_level0.clickTag, "_blank");
    11. Send swf/html files along with your target URL to publication
    Good luck
