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.

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

createContainer

ContextContainer createContainer(ContextContainer c)

Parameters:

c - Parent context-container, if null then a container writing to page context will be instantiated.

getContextContainer

public ContextContainer getContextContainer()

Specified by:

getContextContainer in interface ContextProvider

unwrap

protected static javax.servlet.ServletRequest unwrap(javax.servlet.ServletRequest req)

Since:

MMBase-1.9

doStartTag

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

                         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
