Constructor Detail

BodyTagSupport

public BodyTagSupport()

Default constructor, all subclasses are required to only define a public constructor with the same signature, and to call the superclass constructor. This constructor is called by the code generated by the JSP translator.

Method Detail

doStartTag

public int doStartTag()

               throws JspException

Process the start tag for this instance. The doStartTag() method assumes that all setter methods have been invoked before. When this method is invoked, the body has not yet been invoked.

Overrides:

doStartTag in class TagSupport

doEndTag

public int doEndTag()

             throws JspException

Process the end tag. This method will be called on all Tag objects. All instance state associated with this instance must be reset. The release() method should be called after this invocation.

Overrides:

doEndTag in class TagSupport

setBodyContent

public void setBodyContent(BodyContent b)

Prepare for evaluation of the body It will be invoked at most once per action invocation. Will not be invoked if there is no body evaluation. Frequently it is not redefined by Tag author.

Specified by:

setBodyContent in interface BodyTag

Parameters:

b - the BodyContent

doInitBody

public void doInitBody()

                throws JspException

Prepare for evaluation of the body It will be invoked at most once per action invocation. Will not be invoked if there is no body evaluation. Frequently it is not redefined by Tag author.

Specified by:

doInitBody in interface BodyTag

doAfterBody

public int doAfterBody()

                throws JspException

Actions after some body has been evaluated. Not invoked in empty tags or in tags returning SKIP_BODY in doStartTag() This method is invoked after every body evaluation. The pair "BODY -- doAfterBody()" is invoked initially if doStartTag() returned EVAL_BODY_TAG, and it is repeated as long as the doAfterBody() evaluation returns EVAL_BODY_TAG

The method re-invocations may be lead to different actions because there might have been some changes to shared state, or because of external computation.

Specified by:

doAfterBody in interface BodyTag

release

public void release()

reset the state of the Tag

Overrides:

release in class TagSupport

getBodyContent

public BodyContent getBodyContent()

Get current bodyContent

getPreviousOut

public JspWriter getPreviousOut()

Get surrounding out
