How This Tag Library Document Is Organized

This TLD (Tag Library Descriptor) document has pages corresponding to the items in the navigation
bar, described as follows.
Overview
The Overview page is the front page of this TLD document and provides a list of all tag
libraries with a summary for each.
Library
Each tag library has a page that contains a list of its validator, listeners, tags, and
functions, with a summary for each. This page can contain four categories:
● Validator
● Listeners
● Tags
● Functions
Validator
A tag library can have at most one validator. If a tag library has a validator, it has its own
page describing the validator, the class that implements the validator, and the available
initialization parameters.
Listeners
A tag library can have zero or more listeners. If a tag library has at least one listener, a
page is generated that lists all listener classes registered for the tag library.
Tags
A tag library can have zero or more tags. Each tag has its own page that describes the tag,
its display name, its unique action name, the class that implements the tag, the
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/help-doc.html (1 of 2)23/01/08 10:11:20 AM

API Help (TLDDoc Generated Documentation)
TagExtraInfo class, the body content type, scripting variable information, attributes,
whether the tag supports dynamic attributes, and an optional example use of the tag.
Functions
A tag library can contain zero or more EL functions. If a tag library has at least one
function, a page is generated that lists all functions, the class that implements the function,
the function signature, and an optional example use of the function.
Prev/Next
These links take you to the next or previous validator, listener, tag, function, or related
page.
Frames/No Frames
These links show and hide the HTML frames. All pages are available with or without
frames.
