COM.FutureTense.Interfaces
Interface IDynamicTag

All Superinterfaces:

Seed

public interface IDynamicTag

extends Seed

Interface for classes implement dynamic XML tags. For consistency, we recommend implementing the IXMLBodyTag interface instead, as it can simplify implementations of custom tags that work in both XML and JSP.

However, this interface is functionally equivalent to IXMLBodyTag

oIDynamicTag - parent tag class

startTag
