Method Detail

executeTag

public void executeTag(ParseContext context,
                       PositionReader input,
                       boolean parseTime)
                throws java.lang.Exception

Looks for a Component associated with the name attribute, finds its Component Peer and then renders it into the template output.

Specified by:

executeTag in interface TagHandler

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - anything can happen .. and throw an Exception which is caught in PageParser

reportClosingTagError

protected void reportClosingTagError(ParseContext context)

Outputs a consistent error message at execution time when a closing tag is not found during parse time

Parameters:

context - - the parse context

reportNoComponentPeerError

protected void reportNoComponentPeerError(ParseContext context)

Outputs a consistent error message at execution time when a Component Peer is not found .

Parameters:

context - - the parse context

reportError

protected void reportError(ParseContext context,
                           java.lang.String message,
                           java.lang.Exception exception)

postParsePreProperties

public void postParsePreProperties(CompilationContext context)

Description copied from interface: TagHandler

This method is called after the tag has been compiled but BEFORE any tag properties have been processed. This allows the tag handler to do some things before actual (and potentially repeated) execution.

Specified by:

postParsePreProperties in interface TagHandler

Parameters:

context - The CompilationContext involved

See Also:

TagHandler.postParsePreProperties(echopoint.template.CompilationContext)

postParsePostProperties

public void postParsePostProperties(CompilationContext context)

Description copied from interface: TagHandler

This method is called after the tag has been compiled and AFTER any tag properties have been processed. This allows the tag handler to do some things before actual (and potentially repeated) execution.

Specified by:

postParsePostProperties in interface TagHandler

Parameters:

context - The CompilationContext involved

See Also:

TagHandler.postParsePostProperties(echopoint.template.CompilationContext)

getNameProperty

public java.lang.String getNameProperty()

Returns the name of the tag in question

Specified by:

getNameProperty in interface TagHandler

getTagLength

public long getTagLength()

Get the length of the area in the sourcefile. The area this handler processes is skipped in the inputfile.

Specified by:

getTagLength in interface TagHandler

getTagStart

public long getTagStart()

Get start position of the area in the sourcefile this handler processes.

Specified by:

getTagStart in interface TagHandler

getProperties

public java.util.Map getProperties()

Description copied from interface: TagHandler

Called to get a Map of tag attribute properties and their values. The keys of the of the map are expected to be the tag attribute property names and the values are expected top be the tag attribute property values.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface TagHandler

Returns:

Map

See Also:

TagHandler.getProperties()

setProperties

public void setProperties(java.util.Map map)

Sets a Map of properties into the handler

Parameters:

public void setEndPos(long l)

Sets the end position of the tag in the markup source

Parameters:

l - long - the end position of the tag in the markup source

setNameProperty

public java.lang.String setNameProperty(SGMLTag tag)

Sets the Name property of the TagHandler based on first the "NAME" tag attribute or the "ID" tag attribute. This returns NULL if its neither is present.

Parameters:

tag - - the tag containing the name or id tag attribute

Returns:
