BBJSP CommandTags (Deprecated)

The BBJSP system is deprecated. For new development, use BBxServlet.

Description

In BBj 17.0 and higher, the BBJSP Command library provides a common set of tags that can be used to access information following the execution of a BBjspCommand.

Creation

Tag libraries need specifically importing into a BBJSP page by using the taglib directive. Here's an example of how to register this tag library in your page:


<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-CFG/tld/command.tld' prefix='cmd' %>

The uri points to the tag library definition within the web application and the prefix defines how the tag will be prefixed in the markup.

Tags

Tag Name

Description

Errors Gets the Errors arising from previous Command execution
ErrorsAbsent Checks for the absence of Errors
ErrorsPresent Checks for the presence of Errors
Messages Gets the Messages arising from previous Command execution
MessagesAbsent Checks for the absence of Messages
MessagesPresent Checks for the presence of Messages

Example


<!DOCTYPE html/>
<%-- Import the tag libraries --%>
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-CFG/tld/core.tld' prefix='c' %>
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-CFG/tld/command.tld' prefix='cmd' %>
