Package com.bea.wlw.netui.tags.template Description

This package defines a set of JSP tag extensions providing a simple templating mechanism. A template page is a JSP page defining the overall look and feel of a set of pages. It does this by providing an overall layout structure, style and design of the page and defines placeholders for content. These placeholders are called sections. A content page is a JSP page containing the content. The content page provides the sections of content plugged into the template. Combining the content page and the template page creates the overall look and feel of the content. The big advantage of templates is the ability to change the look and feel of a set of pages without being forced to modify each page.

The NetUI Template tags define two sets of tag extensions. The first set is used by within a JSP template page to define placeholder where content page provides content. The second set of tags is used within a content page to indicate the template to use and to define the content that will be presented within the template.

The tags used by a template page are:

• IncludeSection -- This tag defines a placeholder for content.
• Attribute -- This tag defines an attribute that may be set within the content page.

The tags used by a content page are:

• Section -- This tag contains the content included within a section defined in the template.
• SetAttribute -- This tag defines the value of an attribute used by a template.
• Template -- This tag specifies which template page is being used for the content.

One additional tag is included in the package. The Visible tag defines a section that may be visible or not depending upon a boolean value. The tag may be used either within content or within a template.
