public class ContextTag

extends ContextReferrerTag

implements ContextProvider

A ContextTag is like parentheses, and as such can act as a 'namespace' (if it has an id) or as 'scope' (if it doesn't).

The context can be seen as a container for variables and their values.

(ContextReferrer) Tags living under a context tag can 'register' themselves in the context (by use of the 'id' attribute') and in that way become a variable. Other tags can refer to such variables.

A ContextTag is a ContextReferrer itself too, and therefore it is possible to 'nest' contextes. And perhaps we will also make it possible to treat contextes as variables and e.g. pass them to another page as a whole.

It is also possible to put something into the Context by hand. For that you can use the `ImportTag'.

Writing out the value of a variable can be done with the `Write' Tag.

Method Detail

setReferid

public void setReferid(java.lang.String r)
                throws javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

Description copied from class: ContextReferrerTag

ContextReferrers normally can have the attribute 'referid'. If a ContextReferrer has the 'id' attribute it registers its output in the surrounding Context. With 'referid' you can 'repeat' a tag which had the 'id' attribute.

Overrides:

setReferid in class ContextReferrerTag

Throws:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

setCloudContext

public void setCloudContext(CloudContext cc)

This context can also serve as a 'cloudcontext'. That means that the cloud context commmunicates its cloudcontext to the context.

setPageContext

public void setPageContext(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext pc)

Specified by:

setPageContext in interface javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag

Overrides:

setPageContext in class ContextReferrerTag

getContextContainer

public ContextContainer getContextContainer()

Specified by:

getContextContainer in interface ContextProvider

doStartTag

public int doStartTag()
               throws javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

Specified by:

doStartTag in interface javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.Tag

Throws:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

registerNode

public void registerNode(java.lang.String key,
                         Node node)
                  throws javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

Deprecated. Use getContextProvider().getContextContainer().registerNode

Precisely like 'register', only it wants a Node.

Parameters:

key - the key (id) of the node to register

node - the node to put in the hashmap

Throws:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

findAndRegister

public java.lang.Object findAndRegister(int from,

                                 throws javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

Deprecated. Use getContextProvider().getContextContainer().findAndRegister

Searches a key in request, postparameters, session, parent context and registers it in this one. Returns null if it could not be found.

Throws:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException

findAndRegister
