| 22 | Tomcat 5 provides a framework for implementing tag plugins. The |
|---|
| 23 | plugins instruct Jasper, at translation time, to replace tag handler |
|---|
| 24 | calls with Java scriptlets. |
|---|
| 25 | The framework allows tag library authors to implement plugins for |
|---|
| 26 | their tags. |

|---|
| 29 | Tomcat 5 is released with plugins for several JSTL tags. Note |
|---|
| 30 | that these plugins work with JSTL 1.1 as well as JSTL 1.0, though |
|---|
| 31 | the examples uses JSTL 1.1 and JSP 2.0. |
|---|
| 32 | These plugins are not complete (for instance, some item types not |
|---|
| 33 | handled in <c:if>). |
|---|
| 34 | They do serve as examples to show plugins in action (just |
|---|
| 35 | examine the generated Java files), and how they can be implemented. |
