| 27 | This class, which implements |
|---|
| 28 | <tt>org.apache.jasper.compiler.tagplugin.TagPlugin</tt> |
|---|
| 29 | instructs Jasper what Java codes to generate in place of the tag |
|---|
| 30 | handler calls. |
|---|
| 31 | See Javadoc for <tt>org.apache.jasper.compiler.tagplugin.TagPlugin</tt> |
