I am designing the JSP taglib tag names and their required attributes.
The tags will be 'script', 'expression' (with the aliases of 'express'
for those who think in verb sense and 'ex' because it should be short)
and 'write' with a short alias of 'out'. 'script' will be for
multi-line body evaluation and 'expression' for a single expression.
The url for the taglib will look like this:
<%@ taglib uri="http://javascript.mozilla.org/tools/taglib" prefix="rhino"%>
As you can see the user is in control of what prefix they choose. So
they can think of Rhino in whatever sense they choose. 'prefix' could
be set to "javascript", "JScript", "js", "e4x" or anything else. That
way the vocabulary can fit their personal terminology.
An example:
var userName = request.getParameter("user-name");
I see your name is userName!
if(userName != "Bob") {
Say "Hi" to Bob if you see him.
} else {
Bob, it is nice to see you again.
}
Any questions or suggestions are welcome. What do you think of
individual tags for 'if', 'do-while', 'while', 'for-in', 'continue',
'break', 'with', 'switch', 'throw' and 'try'?
Thanks,
McKinley
