Generating Tag Handlers
See Also
As you develop your tag library, you add code to the tag handler classes to implement
the features your custom actions require. You are also likely to add attributes
and scripting variables to your tags. As you define new attributes and scripting
variables, you must generate your tag handlers so that the corresponding class
members and interfaces are created.
You have two options when you generate tag handlers:
- Generate Tag Handlers. You can choose to generate only the handlers
that have changed since the last time you generated handlers. This option
provides a quick means of checking your most recent work. The names of tags
with handlers that have changed since last generated are appended by a (G)
in the Filesystems window.
- Generate All Tag Handlers. You can choose to generate all tag handlers,
whether or not they require
generation. This option provides you with a refreshed version of all handlers in your tag
library, but can be time consuming depending on the number of tags
your library contains.
To generate tag handlers:
- In the Filesystems window, right-click the tag library descriptor's (TLD)
node.
- From the contextual menu, choose either Generate Tag Handlers or Generate
All Tag Handlers. Generated code appears in a package directory determined
by the tag library's Tag Handler Generation Root. See Creating
and Editing Tag Libraries for details. If the value is blank, the Generation
Root defaults to the root of the filesystem containing the tag library.
