1.0.2 1.1 random http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/random-1.0 Random Tag library The Random tag library creates random strings and random numbers. You may specify a set of allowable characters as well as the length for randomly generated strings. You may specify a range of allowable integers or a random floating point number between zero and one for randomly generated numbers. string org.apache.taglibs.random.RandomStrgTag org.apache.taglibs.random.RandomStrgTEI Empty string Set the properties of a variable length random string generator. A new random string will be created every time the jsp:getProperty tag is used to access the generator. Set the properties of a variable length random string generator. A new random string will be created every time the jsp:getProperty tag is used to access the generator. id org.apache.taglibs.random.RandomStrg true AT_END Name used to retrieve the random string later in the page. random Yes No The variable length randomly generated string from the named generator. id yes no Script variable for use with the standard jsp:getProperty tag. length no no The length of the random string. Defaults to a length of 8. map no no Attribute name of a Bean or Script variable which is a Java HashMap object. The random string generated will be a new unique key for use as a key for the HashMap. charset no no The set of characters to use when creating the random string. The following characters can be used as a charset a-zA-Z0-9 ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ \- + = { } [ ] \\ | : ; \" ' < > , . ? / The backslash, hyphen, and double quotes characters must be escaped with a \: like this \\, \-, and \". Lowercase alpha characters can be specified using a range like "a-z" or "f-r", the same can be done with uppercase letters A-Z and digits 0-9. To use the entire character set, set charset="all". Single characters must be separated by a space. Charset defaults to a value of a-zA-Z0-9. algorithm no no The algorithm to be used if a SecureRandom object is going to be used to generate the random string. provider no no The package to search for the desired algorithm that is to be used for a SecureRandom object. Create a random string that is 8 characters long and that uses a charser of all characters. ]]> Get the random string that was set up above, with a jsp:getProperty tag. ]]> Create a random string that only uses uppercase letters. ]]> Get the random string that was set up above, with a jsp:getProperty tag. ]]> Create the same random string as above only make it 15 characters long. ]]> Get the random string that was set up above, with a jsp:getProperty tag. ]]> Create a random string that uses the following charset A-Z ! @ # \\ \- + ? & $ ]]> Get the random string that was set up above, with a jsp:getProperty tag. ]]> Create the default random string that uses a hashmap named passkeys to make sure each randomly created string is unique.

A new random number will be generated each time the jsp:getProperty tag is used to access the generator. Set the properties of a random number generator. A new random number will be generated each time the jsp:getProperty tag is used to access the generator . id org.apache.taglibs.random.RandomNum true AT_END Name used to retrieve the random number later in the page. random Yes No The variable length randomly generated number as a Java Number object. In a JSP page the number is printed out as a string. id yes no Script variable for use with the standard jsp:getProperty tag. range no no This parameter determines the lower and upper bound from which to select the random number. If a range of 0-1 is selected, the tag will automatically create a float value between 0 and 1. The default range is the digits 0 to 100. Max size of the random number is limited by the size of the primitive data type of long. algorithm no no The algorithm to be used if a SecureRandom object is going to be used to generate the random string. provider no no The package to search for the desired algorithm that is to be used for a SecureRandom object.
