2.1.1.2. Life
2.1.1.2.1. 1. Load class
2.1.1.2.2. 2. Instantiate class (no-args constructor runs)
2.1.1.2.3. 3. Call the SetPageContext(PageContext)
2.1.1.2.4. 4. if the tag is nested setParent(Tag)
2.1.1.2.5. 5. if the tag has attributes, call attributes setters
2.1.1.2.6. 6. doStartTag()
2.1.1.2.7. 7. if the tag is NOT declared to have an empty body, AND tag is NOT invoked with an empty body, AND the doStartTag() return EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE the body is evaluated
2.1.1.2.8. 8. if the body is evauated doAfterBody()
2.1.1.2.9. 9. doEndTag()
2.1.1.3. pageContext.getOutput().println

2.1.2.2.11. 11. doEndTag()
2.1.3. Simple
2.1.3.1. Extend SimpleTagSupport --> SimpleTag --> JspTag
2.1.3.2. To deploy it, must crate a TLD that describes the tag using the same <tag> element
2.1.3.3. to use it with body, make sure the TLD <tag> for this tag does not declare <body-contet>empty. then call getJspBody().invoke(null) to cause the body to be processed
2.1.3.4. Life
2.1.3.4.1. 1. Load class
2.1.3.4.2. 2. Instantiate class (no-args constructor runs)

2.1.3.4.5. 5. If the tag has attributes, call attribute setters
2.1.3.4.6. 6. if the tag is NOT decalred to have a <body-contet>empty.... and the tag has a body, call setJspBody(JspFragment)
2.1.3.4.7. 7. doTag()
2.1.3.5. can set attribute used by the body of the tag, calling getJspContext().setAttribute() followed by getJspBody().invoke()
2.1.3.6. You can iterate over the body invoking the body (getJspBody.invoke()) in a loop
2.1.3.7. the getJspBody() return a JspFragment
2.1.3.7.1. methods
2.1.3.8. Throw a SkipPageException if you want the current page to stop processing, if the page that invoked the ta was included from another page, the including page keeps going even though the included page stops processin from the moment the exception is thrown

6.1. Business Delegate
6.1.1. Features
6.1.1.1. Acts as a proxy, implementing the remote service's interface
6.1.1.2. initiates communications with a remote service
6.1.1.3. handles communication details and exceptions
6.1.1.4. receives request from a controller component
6.1.1.5. translates the request and forwards it to the business services
6.1.1.6. translate the response and returns it to the controller component
6.1.1.7. by handling the details of remote component lookup and communications, allows controllers to be more cohesive
6.1.2. Principales
6.1.2.1. based on
6.1.2.1.1. hiding complexity
6.1.2.1.2. coding to interfaces

6.3.1.4. implemented as a serializable objects so that it can move across the network
6.3.1.5. typically easily accessible by view components
6.3.2. principales
6.3.2.1. based on reducing network traffic
6.3.2.2. minimize the performance impact on the web tier when remote components data is accessed with fine-grained calls
6.3.2.3. Reduces coupling between tiers
6.3.2.4. a drawback is that components accessing the Transfer Object can receive out-of-data data, because transfer object's data is really representing sate that's stored somewhere elese.
6.3.2.5. Making updatable transfer objects concurency-safe is typcally complex
6.4. Intercepting Filter
6.4.1. functions
6.4.1.1. can intercept and/or modify request before they reach the servlet
6.4.1.2. can intercept and/or modify the response before they are returned to the client

6.4.2.3. declarative control allows the sequence of invocation to be easily updated
6.5. Model View, Controller
6.5.1. features
6.5.1.1. views can change independtly from controllres and model
6.5.1.2. model components hide interal details, from the view and controllers
6.5.1.3. if the model adheres to a stric contract,then these components can be reused in other app
6.5.1.4. separation fo model code from controller code allows for easier migration to using remote buisness components
6.5.2. principales
6.5.2.1. based on
6.5.2.1.1. separation of concerns
6.5.2.1.2. loose coupling
6.5.2.2. increase cohesion in inividual components

6.5.2.4. minimize the impact of changes in other tiers of the application
6.6. Fron controller
6.6.1. features
6.6.1.1. centralize a web app's initial request handling tasks in a single component
6.6.1.2. using the fron controller with other patterns can provide loose coupling by making presentation tier dispatching declarative
6.6.1.3. a drawback of front controller is that is' very barebons compared to strus
6.6.2. principales
6.6.2.1. based on
6.6.2.1.1. hiding complexity
6.6.2.1.2. separation of concerns

9. Chap 6. Session Managment
9.1. URL rewriting
9.1.1. Adds the session ID to the end of all URLs in the HTML that you write to the response
9.1.2. Is used to pass over the session ID when cookies are not supported but you need to explicitily encode all of the URLs you write

11. Chap 8. Scriptless JSP
11.1. EL
11.1.1. El expressions are always with curly braces, and prefixed with a dollar($) sign ${expression}
11.1.2. The first named variable in the expression is either an implicit object or an attribute in one of the four scopes (page, request, session or application)
11.1.3. The dot operator lets you access values by using a Map key or a bean property name. whatever comes to the right of the dot operator must follow normal Java naming rules
11.1.4. You can NEVER put anything to the right of the dot that wouldn't be legal as a Java identifire
11.1.5. The [] operator let you access arrays and lists
11.1.5.1. when retrive the entire list only the first element is displayed, initParam.list is the same as initParam.list[0]
11.1.6. If what's inside the brackets is not in quotes, the container evaluates it. if it's in quotes, and it's not an index into an array or list, the container sees it as the literal name of a property or key
11.1.7. All but one of the EL implicit objects are Maps (PageContext)
11.1.8. the implicit object request is represented by requestScope implicit object on EL
11.1.9. You can use TLD to call java methods
11.1.10. Alrays inside of [] should have "" if it's not a number
11.1.11. If the dot operator is used to access a bean property but the prperty doesn't exist, then a runtime exception is thrown
11.2. Bean-Related
11.2.1. <jsp:useBean>
11.2.1.1. Defines a variable that holds a reference to either an existing bean attribute or, if the bean doesn't already exist, create a new bean
11.2.1.2. MUST have an "id" attribute which declares the variable name
11.2.1.3. the "scope" attribute default is page
11.2.1.4. The "class" attribute is optional, and it declares the class type that will be used if a new bean is created. The type must be public, non-abstract and have no-args constructor
11.2.1.5. The "type" attribute must be a type to which the bean can be cast
11.2.1.6. if you have "type" attribute but not have a "class" the bean must already exist
11.2.1.7. This tag can have body, and anything in the body runs ONLY if a new bean is created
11.2.1.7.1. <jsp:setProperty>
11.3. Include
11.3.1. mechanisms
11.3.1.1. <%@ include FILE="header.html" %>
11.3.1.1.1. does the include at translation time, only once
11.3.1.2. <jsp:include PAGE="header.html" />
11.3.1.2.1. does the include at at runtime, every time!
11.3.1.2.2. can customize an included file by setting a request parameter using <jsp:param>
11.3.1.2.3. it's NOT possible to import the contents of any binary file into a JSP page
11.3.2. is position-sensitive directive
11.3.3. be sure to strip out the opening and closing tags.
11.3.4. Cannot change the response status code or set headers
11.4. Taglib declaration
11.4.1. <taglib> ... <function> <name>Some</.. <function-class>com.some.package.class</.. <function-signature>java.lang.String param (java.lang.String)</.. </... </...
11.5. <jsp:forward>
11.5.1. the response buffer is cleared first!, so anything written to the response before the forward will be thrown away
11.5.2. if you commit the response before the forwad (calling out.flush()), the forward won't happen, and the rest of the original page won't be processed
11.5.3. attribute Page
