The (translation-time only) attribute/value information for a tag instance.

TagData is only used as an argument to the isValid, validate, and getVariableInfo methods of TagExtraInfo, which are invoked at translation time.

/** * The (translation-time only) attribute/value information for a tag instance. * * <p> * TagData is only used as an argument to the isValid, validate, and * getVariableInfo methods of TagExtraInfo, which are invoked at * translation time. */
public class TagData implements Cloneable {
Distinguished value for an attribute to indicate its value is a request-time expression (which is not yet available because TagData instances are used at translation-time).
/** * Distinguished value for an attribute to indicate its value * is a request-time expression (which is not yet available because * TagData instances are used at translation-time). */
public static final Object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE = new Object();
Constructor for TagData.

A typical constructor may be

static final Object[][] att = {{"connection", "conn0"}, {"id", "query0"}};
static final TagData td = new TagData(att);
All values must be Strings except for those holding the distinguished object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE.
Params:
  • atts – the static attribute and values. May be null.

Constructor for a TagData. If you already have the attributes in a hashtable, use this constructor.
Params:
  • attrs – A hashtable to get the values from.
/** * Constructor for a TagData. * * If you already have the attributes in a hashtable, use this * constructor. * * @param attrs A hashtable to get the values from. */
public TagData(Hashtable<String, Object> attrs) { this.attributes = attrs; }
The value of the tag's id attribute.
Returns:the value of the tag's id attribute, or null if no such attribute was specified.
/** * The value of the tag's id attribute. * * @return the value of the tag's id attribute, or null if no such * attribute was specified. */
public String getId() { return getAttributeString(TagAttributeInfo.ID); }
The value of the attribute. If a static value is specified for an attribute that accepts a request-time attribute expression then that static value is returned, even if the value is provided in the body of a <jsp:attribute> action. The distinguished object REQUEST_TIME_VALUE is only returned if the value is specified as a request-time attribute expression or via the <jsp:attribute> action with a body that contains dynamic content (scriptlets, scripting expressions, EL expressions, standard actions, or custom actions). Returns null if the attribute is not set.
Params:
  • attName – the name of the attribute
Returns:the attribute's value

Set the value of an attribute.
Params:
  • attName – the name of the attribute
  • value – the value.
/** * Set the value of an attribute. * * @param attName the name of the attribute * @param value the value. */
public void setAttribute(String attName, Object value) { attributes.put(attName, value); }
Get the value for a given attribute.
Params:
  • attName – the name of the attribute
Throws:
Returns:the attribute value string
/** * Get the value for a given attribute. * * @param attName the name of the attribute * @return the attribute value string * @throws ClassCastException if attribute value is not a String */
public String getAttributeString(String attName) { Object o = attributes.get(attName); if (o == null) { return null; } return (String) o; }
Enumerates the attributes.
Returns:An enumeration of the attributes in a TagData
/** * Enumerates the attributes. * *@return An enumeration of the attributes in a TagData */
public java.util.Enumeration<String> getAttributes() { return attributes.keys(); } // private data private final Hashtable<String, Object> attributes; // the tagname/value map }
