JOT Views for JSP
JOT Views custom tags allow JSP pages to render web components with
the JOT Views rendering engine. JOT JSP tags are documented by
the WEB-INF/jotviews.tld tag library descriptor. JOT JSP tags invoke
the JOT Views rendering engine, providing access to the capabilities
of JOT Templates, JOT Web Components, and JOT Iterators.
JOT JSP Tags:
The ServiceRequest tag renders a response. The JotResponseBean and
JOT Template (contentPath) attributes are optional (see jotviews.tld for
details):
<jot:ServiceRequest
jotResponseBeanClass="com.example.ExampleJotResponseBean"
contentPath="/webpages/ExampleJotTemplate.html" />
The RenderComponent tag uses a JOT Web Component to render
dynamic content into a JSP page. The JotContentBean and JOT Template
(contentPath) attributes are optional (see jotviews.tld for details):
<jot:RenderComponent jotContentBeanClass="com.example.ExampleJotTemplateBean" />
Forwarding to a JOT Servlet:
JSP pages can forward requests to a JOT Servlet as the View
component in Struts or other Model-View-Controller applications.
The following JSP example does some processing that sets the value
of the customer property in Request scope and then forwards the
request to a JOT Servlet for response rendering.
<jsp:useBean id="customer" scope="request" class="com.example.Customer">
<% customer.setCustomerId(request.getParameter("LoginName")); %>
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:forward page="/ExampleJotServlet"/>
