Create custom JSP tags to use with JMS ost JavaServer Pages (JSP) developers that
Tutorial Details:
I've worked with love JSP because it's easy to use and a powerful way to design flexible Webpages. As passionate Web designers, most JSP developers are not interested in the details of n-tier architectures and distributed programming, let alone the intricacies and complexities of asynchronous processing with Java Messaging Service (JMS). Nevertheless, circumstances will present themselves when JSP developers may need the power of asynchronous processing. For example, suppose an online Webstore written completely with JSP needs to update its inventory after each processed sale, yet the inventory management system is across the globe. In that case, using JMS to update the inventory asynchronously may provide an attractive alternative. Situations similar to that one most likely fueled Sun to make both JSP and JMS key pieces of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
So, is the answer as simple as making JSP developers master JMS? Unfortunately not. As I mentioned above, this answer will probably displease many JSP developers. Then, what is the solution?
JSP 1.1 introduced an extremely valuable new capability: the ability to define your own JSP tags, also called custom tags. You can group custom tags into tag libraries and reuse them in any number of JSP files. Custom tags allow complex programming logic to boil down to a set of simple tags, which JSP developers can easily use to develop content. Although custom tags require a bit more effort to set up than normal tags, the benefits definitely outweigh the costs. Tag libraries increase productivity by encouraging labor division between library developers and library users. Developers expert in accessing data and other services create JSP tags; Webpage authors who focus on the design of user interfaces use them.
In this article, I will design and implement two custom JSP tags that will allow JSP developers to work with JMS in the form that they are most comfortable with -- tags. Plus, since all the JMS programming logic is buried deep within the custom tags, JSP developers do not need to learn JMS. That's what I call killing two birds with one stone.
