public class DateTagSupport

extends AbstractInputTagSupport

implements java.io.Serializable

Provides the rendering logic for an HTML form field that accepts date values only. In addition, each instance of this class uses an instance of com.bea.web.validation.DateWord to perform runtime validation of the value for this field. This class places an DateWord instance in application scope, i.e. accessible via the ServletContext object. The ServletContext is shared by all servlets in a Web application. Consequently, the controller servlet can access the DateWord to validate user input passed in the HTTP request for this form field.
