I'm looking for a collection of rich, well-written, stable, customizable and cool jsp 'controls'.
Does something like this exist in JSP? Some tag library that has calendars, sortable and pageable tables, ajax autocompletes, pick-lists, partial requests, etc.
I know displaytag, ajax-tags and jspcontrols, but these aren't so complete as the ones listed above for the other display technologies.
If no such library exists, please advise which are the best libraries that cover parts of what I'm looking for.
Under the JSP 1.1 specification, there can be only one tag library and only one TLD file in the JAR file.
The JSP taglib directive is used to define a tag library that defines many tags. We use the TLD (Tag Library Descriptor) file to define the tags. In the custom tag section we will use this tag so it will be better to learn it in custom tag.
A tag library defines a collection of custom actions. The tags can be used directly by developers in manually coding a JSP page, or automatically by Java development tools. A tag library must be portable between different JSP container implementations.
The taglib directive declares that your JSP page uses a set of custom tags, identifies the location of the library, and provides means for identifying the custom tags in your JSP page. The taglib directive follows the syntax given below − <%@ taglib uri = "uri" prefix = "prefixOfTag" >
Have a look at SweetDEV RIA (which is/was used by a french bank), it looks close to what you're looking for. See the demo here.
