Included in this distibution:
The JSTL-examples application included with this distribution demonstrates the current capabilities of JSTL, exploring idioms and usage patterns when appropriate.
Every effort has been made to provide a functional, robust, and speedy reference implementation (RI) for the current functionality JSTL offers. For developers, the code is commented thoroughly to help provide an understanding of design considerations and salient implementation details.
Classes in the javax.servlet.JSTL represent the current draft of the JSTL API classes. Classes under org.apache.* represent the reference implementation, expected to be released through Jakarta Taglibs. The package structure for the RI is organized as follows:
org.apache.taglibs.standard .tag tag handlers and routines related to them .common handlers and support routines common for RT/EL attributes .core core library (common) .fmt internationalization-capable formatting tags (common) .xml XML manipulation library (common) .sql SQL library (common) .el handlers specific to expression language (EL) evaluation .core core library (EL) .fmt internationalization-capable formatting tags (EL) .xml XML manipulation library (EL) .sql SQL library (EL) .rt handlers specific to rtexprvalue (rt) evaluation .core core library (rt) .fmt internationalization-capable formatting tags (rt) .xml XML manipulation library (rt) .sql SQL library (rt) .tei TagExtraInfo classes (common to both libraries) .tlv TagLibraryValidator classes (and associated helpers) .lang expression-language support and implementation .dummy dummy ExpressionEvaluator .support ExpressionEvaluator, ExpressionEvaluatorManager .spel SPEL .jpath JPath .jxpath JXPath
Enjoy!
