Also note the attached replacement for TagProtocol.gif.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/doc-files/TagProtocol.gif
- Updated diagram to remove arrow from released state to all
properties initialized state.
- Moved label [3] to another arrow.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/Tag.java
- Removed state transition [3] from class javadocs.
- Added a new [3] label clarifying details about what may be called
on tag reuse.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagData.java
- Updated description for getAttribute() to clarify
REQUEST_TIME_VALUE is returned for any dynamic attribute set
via <jsp:attribute>.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/JspFragment.java
- "for example" --> "in other words"
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/VariableInfo.java
- Fixed incorrect class comment about variable scope.
- Removed old comment about JLS verbiage.
- Improved description of why 'boxed' types are necessary.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagVariableInfo.java
- Fixed erroneous comment about only being available in JSP 2.0
format
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/SimpleTag.java
- Clarified SimpleTag has the equivalent power of BodyTag but with a
much simpler lifecycle.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/IterationTag.java
- Clarified description for return value of SKIP_BODY from
doAfterBody()
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/PageContext.java
- Fixed class description as some elements were moved to JspContext.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/JspContext.java
- Fixed class description as some elements were moved from
PageContext.
- Removed constants PAGE_SCOPE, REQUEST_SCOPE, SESSION_SCOPE and
APPLICATION_SCOPE as these are duplicated in PageContext.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/BodyTag.java
- Clarified that in a classic tag invocation with an empty body
(e.g. <my:tag/>), the body methods are not to be called by the
container.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagLibraryValidator.java
- A validator operates on the XML view associated with the JSP page,
not the "XML document".
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/el/VariableResolver.java
- Removed pContext parameter from resolveVariable()
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/el/ExpressionEvaluator.java
- Changed from an interface to an abstract class.
jsr152/src/share/javax/servlet/jsp/el/Expression.java
