Technical Preview of Tags for WebFacing
Overview

This document is for advanced users who are interested in writing a custom tag library for use with WebFacing or using an existing custom tag library with WebFacing. It will be assumed that the reader is an advanced user and has an understaning of HTML, Java and JSP tags.

The information presented here should be considered to be a Technical Preview of this capability. As such the Java interfaces should be expected to change.

For WebFacing there are two distinct times at which tags will come into play, during conversion of the DDS into JSP and when the JSPs are run.

At conversion time the process of converting the DDS into JSPs can be influenced by user-written classes to change the JSP source that is emitted for fields.

Conversion Time How-To

When the JSPs are run containing tags what are the resources that are available to them from the WebFacing environment and where should your custom tag JAR file be located in your WebFacing project.
Run Time How-To

Below is a link to the JavaDoc for both the tag generator interface and the tag runtime classes.
