Field Detail

### bodyContent

    protected BodyContent bodyContent

Constructor Detail

### BodyTagSupport

    public BodyTagSupport()

  Default constructor, all subclasses are required to only define a public constructor with the same signature, and to call the superclass constructor. This constructor is called by the code generated by the JSP translator.

Method Detail

### doEndTag

    public int doEndTag()
                 throws JspException

  Process the end tag. This method will be called on all Tag objects. All instance state associated with this instance must be reset. The release() method should be called after this invocation.
  Overrides:
    doEndTag in class TagSupport

### setBodyContent

    public void setBodyContent(BodyContent b)

  Prepare for evaluation of the body It will be invoked at most once per action invocation. Will not be invoked if there is no body evaluation. Frequently it is not redefined by Tag author.
  Specified by:
    setBodyContent in interface BodyTag
  Parameters:
    `b` - the BodyContent

### doInitBody

    public void doInitBody()

  Prepare for evaluation of the body It will be invoked at most once per action invocation. Will not be invoked if there is no body evaluation. Frequently it is not redefined by Tag author.
  Specified by:
    doInitBody in interface BodyTag

### doAfterBody

    public int doAfterBody()
                    throws JspError

  Actions after some body has been evaluated. Not invoked in empty tags or in tags returning SKIP_BODY in doStartTag() This method is invoked after every body evaluation. The pair "BODY -- doAfterBody()" is invoked initially if doStartTag() returned EVAL_BODY_TAG, and it is repeated as long as the doAfterBody() evaluation returns EVAL_BODY_TAG

  The method re-invocations may be lead to different actions because there might have been some changes to shared state, or because of external computation.

  Specified by:
    doAfterBody in interface BodyTag

### release

    public void release()

  reset the state of the Tag
  Overrides:
    release in class TagSupport

### getBodyContent

    public BodyContent getBodyContent()

  Get current bodyContent

### getPreviousOut

    public JspWriter getPreviousOut()

  Get surrounding out
