Class TagExtraInfo
java.lang.Objectjavax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagExtraInfo
public abstract class TagExtraInfo
extends java.lang.Object
Optional class provided by the tag library author to describe additional
translation-time information not described in the TLD.
The TagExtraInfo class is mentioned in the Tag Library Descriptor file (TLD).
This class can be used:
- to indicate that the tag defines scripting variables
- to perform translation-time validation of the tag attributes.
It is the responsibility of the JSP translator that the initial value
to be returned by calls to getTagInfo() corresponds to a TagInfo
object for the tag being translated. If an explicit call to
setTagInfo() is done, then the object passed will be returned in
subsequent calls to getTagInfo().
The only way to affect the value returned by getTagInfo()
is through a setTagInfo() call, and thus, TagExtraInfo.setTagInfo() is
to be called by the JSP translator, with a TagInfo object that
corresponds to the tag being translated. The call should happen before
any invocation on isValid() and before any invocation on
getVariableInfo().
