JSP1.0中可以通过继承TagSupport或者BodyTagSupport来实现自定义的tag处理方法。
JSP2.0中也支持另外一种更为简单的自定tag的方法,那就是直接讲JSP代码保存成*.tag或者*.tagx的标签定义文件。tag和tagx文件不仅支持经典jsp代码,各种标签模版代码,还支持xml样式的jsp指令代码。
按照约定,tag和tagx文件需要放置在WEB-INF/tags目录下。
下面是一些简单的示例:
1.简单地显示时间time.tag
<%@ tag import="java.util.*" import="java.text.*" %>
<%
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG);
Date d = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
out.println(df.format(d));
%>
<%@ taglib prefix="util" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Today is <util:time/>.
</body>
</html>
2.复制字符串多少遍repeater.tag
<%@ attribute name="count" type="java.lang.Integer" required="true" %>
<%@ attribute name="value" type="java.lang.String" required="true" %>
<%!
private String repeater(Integer count, String s) {
int n = count.intValue();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
sb.append(s);
}
return sb.toString();
}
%>
<%
out.println(repeater(count, value));
%>
<%@ taglib prefix="util" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Let's get some sleep! <util:repeater count='${3 * 10}' value='zzz'/>
</body>
</html>
3.查找省份lookup.tag
<%@ tag import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ attribute name="cityName" required="true" %>
<%@ variable name-given="province" %>
<%@ variable name-given="population" variable-class="java.lang.Integer" %>
<%
if ("Toronto".equals(cityName)) {
jspContext.setAttribute("province", "Ontario");
jspContext.setAttribute("population", new Integer(2553400));
}
else if ("Montreal".equals(cityName)) {
jspContext.setAttribute("province", "Quebec");
jspContext.setAttribute("population", new Integer(2195800));
}
else {
jspContext.setAttribute("province", "Unknown");
jspContext.setAttribute("population", new Integer(-1));
}
%>
<jsp:doBody/>
<%@ taglib prefix="util" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<% pageContext.setAttribute("cityName", "Montreal"); %>
<util:lookup cityName="${cityName}">
${cityName}'s province is ${province}.
${cityName}'s population is approximately ${population / 1000000} million.
</util:lookup>
</body>
</html>
上面的都是使用的经典jsp代码,下面将第3个示例使用其他代码实现:
*使用标签:
<%@ tag import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ attribute name="cityName" required="true" %>
<%@ variable name-given="province" %>
<%@ variable name-given="population" %>
<c:choose>
<c:when test="cityName eq 'Toronto'>
<c:set var="province" value="Ontario"/>
<c:set var="population" value="2553400"/>
</c:when>
<c:when test="cityName eq 'Montreal'>
<c:set var="province" value="Quebec"/>
<c:set var="population" value="2195800"/>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<c:set var="province" value="Unknown"/>
<c:set var="population" value="-1"/>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
%>
<jsp:doBody/>
<%@ taglib prefix="util" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<c:set var="cityName" value="Montreal"/>
<util:lookup cityName="${cityName}">
${cityName}'s province is ${province}.
${cityName}'s population is approximately ${population / 1000000} million.
</util:lookup>
</body>
</html>
*使用jsp指令,通常这种方式生成xml格式的文件
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page">
<jsp:directive.tag import="java.util.*"/>
<jsp:directive.taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"/>
<jsp:directive.attribute name="cityName" required="true"/>
<jsp:directive.variable name-given="province"/>
<jsp:directive.variable name-given="population"/>
<c:choose>
<c:when test="cityName eq 'Toronto'>
<c:set var="province" value="Ontario"/>
<c:set var="population" value="2553400"/>
</c:when>
<c:when test="cityName eq 'Montreal'>
<c:set var="province" value="Quebec"/>
<c:set var="population" value="2195800"/>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<c:set var="province" value="Unknown"/>
<c:set var="population" value="-1"/>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</jsp:root>
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<jsp:root version='2.0'
xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
xmlns:util="urn:jsptagdir:/WEB-INF/tags"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html"/>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<c:set var="cityName" value="Montreal"/>
<util:lookup cityName="${cityName}">
${cityName}'s province is ${province}.
${cityName}'s population is approximately ${population / 1000000} million.
</util:lookup>
</body>
</html>
</jsp:root>
