Source: TechRepublic, 10 JSP Tag Libraries, Blogger, Mellonfire, 25th June 2007. This blog entry is also available as a TechRepublic download. One of JSP’s most overlooked features is its ability to work with reusable code blocks, aka “tag libraries,” to add new functionality to a JSP application. These tag libraries, declared using XML-type markup, provide ready-to-use widgets that can easily be integrated into a JSP page. They’re also a useful way to separate an application’s business logic from its visual presentation. There are lots of freely available libraries online — but how do you know where to start? The 10 JSP tag libraries listed in Table A provide a starting point for your journey into the world of JSP reusability. Take a look. Note: To install JSP tag libraries, refer to the documentation and to the installation instructions included with each library.
