Custom Tag Libraries

Another .tag File Example

Recall this JSP for counting page requests: PageCounter.jsp
Using a .tag file, we can rewrite the JSP as: PageCounter2.jsp
- The only code remaining is a reference to the pageCount variable
- The variable is manipulated through use of the count tag
The custom count tag is defined by the following .tag file: count.tag
- Note the use of the variable directive that tells the container about the name, type, and scope of the variable
