Class TagData

Contents
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable

    public class TagData
extends Object
implements Cloneable
    The (translation-time only) attribute/value information for a tag instance.

    TagData is only used as an argument to the isValid, validate, and getVariableInfo methods of TagExtraInfo, which are invoked at translation time.

    • Field Detail

      • REQUEST_TIME_VALUE

        public static final Object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE
        Distinguished value for an attribute to indicate its value is a request-time expression (which is not yet available because TagData instances are used at translation-time).

    • Constructor Detail

      • TagData

        public TagData(Object[][] atts)
        Constructor for TagData.

        A typical constructor may be 

         static final Object[][] att = {{"connection", "conn0"}, {"id", "query0"}};
 static final TagData td = new TagData(att);
        All values must be Strings except for those holding the distinguished object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE.
        Parameters:
        atts - the static attribute and values. May be null.

      • TagData

        public TagData(Hashtable<String,Object> attrs)
        Constructor for a TagData. If you already have the attributes in a hashtable, use this constructor.
        Parameters:
        attrs - A hashtable to get the values from.

    • Method Detail

      • getId

        public String getId()
        The value of the tag's id attribute.
        Returns:
        the value of the tag's id attribute, or null if no such attribute was specified.

      • getAttribute

        public Object getAttribute(String attName)
        The value of the attribute. If a static value is specified for an attribute that accepts a request-time attribute expression then that static value is returned, even if the value is provided in the body of a <jsp:attribute> action. The distinguished object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE is only returned if the value is specified as a request-time attribute expression or via the <jsp:attribute> action with a body that contains dynamic content (scriptlets, scripting expressions, EL expressions, standard actions, or custom actions). Returns null if the attribute is not set.
        Parameters:
        attName - the name of the attribute
        Returns:
        the attribute's value

      • setAttribute

        public void setAttribute(String attName,
                         Object value)
        Set the value of an attribute.
        Parameters:
        attName - the name of the attribute

      • getAttributeString

        public String getAttributeString(String attName)
