Chapter 9. Using tag libraries<br />

9<br />

Custom tag libraries provide an abstraction of Java code as opposed to<br />

scriptlets, which require Java programming experience. For a Web developer in<br />

charge of writing JSPs, using custom tags eliminates the need for in-depth Java<br />

knowledge and makes it easy to reuse code.<br />

This chapter provides information on using tag libraries in Web applications. It<br />

introduces the concepts of custom tag libraries (taglibs) and gives information on<br />

how to use them.<br />

► Tag library concepts<br />

► Studio Site Developer and tag libraries<br />

► Using tag libraries in the Online Catalog sample<br />

We will focus mainly on understanding the content of tag libraries and how to<br />

incorporate existing tag libraries into a Web application. If you are interested in<br />

creating tag libraries, please refer to Programming J2EE APIs with <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

Advanced <strong>Server</strong> - Express V5.0.2 Developer Handbook SG24-6124.<br />
