How to create custom tag
Hi All,
I want to create a custom tag which wraps the plain html font tag in
such a way that it fetches the color of the font to be displayed on a
pre-configured severity level. Can anyone pl suggest how can I do that.
regards,
Pankaj

Use expression language available in jsp 2.0:
<div
class="${theBean.messageLevel="Error"?"ErrorClass":theBean.messageLevel="Warning"?"WarningClass":"InfoClass"}">
.....
</div>

Sorry, the last part should be:
<td class="error">
<html:error/> <!-- you can also use logic:present with html:message
id="error" to represent you text -->
</td>

Re: How to create custom tag
Posted by Li <am...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
CSS sure can do, and how you let your system know whether is error or info,
or whatever is up to how you code inside your system.
Let'me give you a simple example
in sample.css
.error {
color:red;
font: 10px;
}
.success {
color:blue;
font:10px;
}
--------------------------
Your have form.jsp / submit-done.jsp, submit-fail.jsp
- form.jsp : contains a form that would be submitted by user to your remote
DBMS
- submit-done.jsp : once form submission is successful, this page is
rendered, with success info
...
<td class="success">
You form is submitted successfully!
</td>
....
- submit-done.jsp : once form submission is failed, this will be displayed
....
<td class="success">
<html:error> <!-- you can also use logic:present with html:message
id="error" to represent you text -->
</td>
That's it.

Font Tag is deprecated see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#edef-FONT
If you are on JSP 2.0 it is very easy to write a Tag yourself. Just
override doTag() method of SimpleTagSupport class.
See:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/SimpleTagSupport.html
http://www.sitepoint.com/print/jsp-2-simple-tags - very simple tutorial.
I think tomcat 5.x comes bundled with basic examples you should be able
to find examples in webapp jsp-examples.
Look in folder TOMCAT_HOME\webapps\jsp-examples\jsp2\simpletag for
HelloWorldSimpleTag.java.html

Anything you can do with a font tag you can do with CSS. In this day and
age no one should be using font tags anymore!

I dont think CSS can work in this case as the CSS would be static. I
want to display color of the font based on the value of severity of
message i.e. if the message is critical it should be displayed in red,
info in blue, etc. i.e. It would depend on the value of a form bean
property.
