Hi all,
A while back, we discussed the possibility of
repackaging "application", "page", "request" and
"session" taglibs into a single library. In the
interest of exploration, I've checked in a small
library that may become the nucleus for such a
project. Please note that this is just a starting
point; I have not yet even ported in most of the
existing functionality.
My intention here is to make a tag library that's
easier to use and more closely mimics the syntax of
some of the standard JSP tags. For example, instead
of having separate tags for getting attributes, there
is a single attribute tag with a "scope" attribute:
<scopes:attribute name="foo" scope="request"/>
I also thinking about getting rid of the
"value='false'" syntax on tags like existsAttribute,
existsParameter, etc. tags in favor of seperate tags,
which I think will be much clearer:
<scopes:existsAttribute name="foo"/>
<scopes:notExistsAttribute name="foo"/>
Finally, I'd like to review the overlap between our
tags and some of the tags in the Struts taglib.
Clearly the usage of our tags is quite different, and
perhaps everything fine, but I'd like to make sure
there's no potential for convergence.
