JSTL: JSP Standard Tag Library Kick Start By Jeff Heaton
Table of Contents
Introduction
One significant feature of this book is the forum application. This application is a Web-based bulletin board that allows users to register and then post messages to any of several forms. Throughout this book, the forum application is extended as you learn new features of JSTL.
We introduce the forum application in Chapter 7, where we implement it as a simple JSP Web application that uses the SQL tags. In the first version, the forum application is an English-only program. Chapter 10 extends this by making the application support additional languages.
The forum application now contains quite a few JSTL tags. JSTL is not meant to be the only technology you use to create a complex Web application; you should use your own custom tag libraries, which you create, to encapsulate your Web application's functionality. Chapter 11 shows you how to create a tag library designed to coexist with JSTL. This allows the forum application tag library to share data with JSTL tags.
At this point, you have a complete Web application that reflects the way in which JSTL should be used in conjunction with your own custom tag libraries. Chapter 12 then completes this process by showing you how to deploy this Web application.
