JSP Tag Libraries Training Overview

JSP tag libraries (taglibs) provide an elegant mechanism for encapsulating and reusing code in your Java Web applications. The JSP tags you write can then be used successfully by other developers with only a minimum of effort.

In this three-day JSP tag libraries training class, you and your team will learn how to write and deploy JSP tag libraries.

Software Needed on Each Student PC

• Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003
• Java SE SDK, version 1.5.0 or later (downloadable from http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html)
• Tomcat 4.1 or later (if the class is being taught to the Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 spec) or Tomcat 5.0 or later (if the class is being taught to the Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 spec) -- both are downloadable from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/
• The complete Java Standard Tag Library, as obtained from http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/
• The JSP tool the students are likely to use after the class, such as Dreamweaver (if no tool has been selected, a good free tool is Eclipse, downloadable from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)
• For the JSP portion of the class, it is desirable (but not required) to have a tool with strong JSP editing features, such as Dreamweaver or WebSphere Application Developer
• Microsoft Access, SQL Server, or another relational database accessible via JDBC or ODBC

Note: This outline presumes that Apache Tomcat will be used to execute the JSPs in this class. However, all code taught will run on any Java platform, including SunONE, BEA WebLogic, and IBM WebSphere. If preferred, these platforms can be used as the test servers during class.
