RE: OS / Browser tag?
Hi Jay,
Yeah, coming down to having two tags. Would be great to add them to
logic:present tag, but not sure it would work - seems to me there is a
fundamental difference in that logic:present is checking for values in the
request.
What do others think?
Dave
PS Cross posting to dev list too.

I like the idea for the OS and Browser check. However I would suggest that
the checks be made separately and not within one tag. How about if we can
modify the logic:present to have two more parameters? ( that can also go for
notPresent ).
E.g.
<logic:present os="unix">
<!-- the code -->
</logic:present>
<logic:present browser="Netscape" version="4.0">
<!-- the code -->
</logic:present>
Above approach will result in less of a learning curve and fewer tags.

I have something written that will do the server-side browser detection,
etc. but not a tag for it. It's actually an adaptation of a nice PHP-based
script that I stumbled on a while back. :) It'd be a great idea for a tag
though - go for it! :)

Sorry, maybe that wasn't clear!
I am basically looking for an IF tag which utilises the OS and/or the
browser that the client is running on.
eg IF Unix and Netscape THEN....
would be <logic:IF_os_browser os="unix" browser="Netscape">
//do something
</logic:IF_os_browser>
and the tag would automatically check for current client os and browser.
Hope that's clearer!
Cheers,
Dave

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if anyone has written a tag to do something specific to OS or
Browser?
I'm probably going to write my own if no-one else has already done it!
Cheers,
Dave

Posted by ba...@generationjava.com.
Whoops, missed this one.
We've recently discussed this over on the taglib and commons mail lists.
The end resolution was that an OS/Browser checker was better fitted as a
Bean that sits inside JSPTL than a custom tag library. So the next step is
to work on a Bean that can analyse a request.
It fits quite well with another itch I have, for a generic log reporting
mechanism in Java, so I will be hoping to integrate and develop it in
there.
Bringing all these browser detection ideas into a common place seems the
obvious thing to do, I'll forward a post I made to commons/taglib
suggesting a project to improve on log-creation and log-reporting,
browser-detection is an integral part of that.
Sorry to butt in,
Bay
