java.lang.Object | +--javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport
A base class for defining new tag handlers implementing Tag.
The TagSupport class is a utility class intended to be used as the base class for new tag handlers. The TagSupport class implements the Tag and IterationTag interfaces and adds additional convenience methods including getter methods for the properties in Tag. TagSupport has one static method that is included to facilitate coordination among cooperating tags.
Many tag handlers will extend TagSupport and only redefine a few methods.

doEndTag() Default processing of the end tag returning EVAL_PAGE. | |
doStartTag() Default processing of the start tag, returning SKIP_BODY. | |
findAncestorWithClass(Tag from, java.lang.Class klass) Find the instance of a given class type that is closest to a given instance. | |
getId() The value of the id attribute of this tag; or null. | |
getParent() The Tag instance most closely enclosing this tag instance. | |
getValue(java.lang.String k) Get a the value associated with a key. | |
getValues() Enumerate the values kept by this tag handler. | |
release() Release state. | |
removeValue(java.lang.String k) Remove a value associated with a key. | |
setId(java.lang.String id) Set the id attribute for this tag. | |

public static finalTagfindAncestorWithClass(Tag from, java.lang.Class klass)
The current version of the specification only provides one formal way of indicating the observable type of a tag handler: its tag handler implementation class, described in the tag-class subelement of the tag element. This is extended in an informal manner by allowing the tag library author to indicate in the description subelement an observable type. The type should be a subtype of the tag handler implementation class or void. This addititional constraint can be exploited by a specialized container that knows about that specific tag library, as in the case of the JSP standard tag library.
When a tag library author provides information on the observable type of a tag handler, client programmatic code should adhere to that constraint. Specifically, the Class passed to findAncestorWithClass should be a subtype of the observable type.
