For more information on JSTL, -please go to http://java.sun.com/products/jstl. +Thanks for downloading the source code for the Apache Software Foundation's +implementation of the JavaServer Pages(tm)(JSP) Standard Tag Library (JSTL) +specification. This code is licensed to you by the Apache Software +Foundation and its contributors under the terms of the Apache License V2.0; +please see the included NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt files for details. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUILD ENVIRONMENT SETUP ---- -J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) +For the 1.2 release, the project migrated to the Apache Maven build system. +Download and install version 2.2 or higher from http://maven.apache.org -Download and install Sun's distribution of J2SE 1.4.2 (or higher) -for your operating system platform. J2SE can be found at -http://java.sun.com/j2se. - -Sun's distribution of J2SE 1.4.2 includes many of the libraries that -standard 1.1 depends on. However, please note that standard 1.1 will -compile and run on previous versions of J2SE (from 1.3 up to 1.4.1) as -long as the standard 1.1 dependencies not included in these versions -of the J2SE are properly setup. See section 'LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES' -for details. - - - Set a JAVA_HOME environment variable to point at the directory - where J2SE is installed. - - Add the JAVA_HOME/bin directory to your PATH. - ---- -Ant - -Download and install version 1.5 or higher of the Jakarta Ant Project -distribution. Ant can be fount at http://ant.apache.org. - - - Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to point at your Ant - distribution directory - - Add the ANT_HOME/bin directory to your PATH. +The build requires a Java Development Kit Version 5 or higher. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES +BUILDING -This version of the Standard Tag Library has the following compile-time -dependencies: +From the 'standard' directory, the entire project can be built with the +normal Maven goals: - 1. Dependencies not included in J2SE: - - Servlet 2.4 - - JSP 2.0 - - 2. Dependencies included in newer J2SEs (1.4.2 and higher) - - JAXP 1.2 - - Xalan 2.5 - - JDBC Standard Extension 2.0 - -Since all of the dependencies in (2) are included in Sun's -distribution of J2SE 1.4.2 (or higher), this is therefore the J2SE -version of choice to compile and run the standard tag library. - -If you still need the jar files for the dependencies listed in (2), -instructions on where you can get these jar files are included below. - ---- -build.properties - -- Copy the file standard/build_sample_standard.properties to build.properties. - -- Edit build.properties and make the following modifications: - - Set the "base.dir" property in build.properties to the base directory - of your 'standard' distribution. It must be an absolute path. - - Set the jar file properties to the absolute path and filename - for the jar files required to build the standard tag library - (see below). - ---- -Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 - -Download and install the Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 APIs. The jar files -for these APIs may be found in distributions of jakarta-servlet-api-5-bin -and jakarta-jsp-api-5-bin at http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-5/nightly. -They are also included in Tomcat 5, available at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat. - -Set the following properties in build.properties to the -file paths of the jars: - - servlet24.jar - - jsp20.jar - ---- -JAXP 1.2 -[required only if building with versions of J2SE that do not include -the JAXP APIs, such as J2SE 1.3] - -The JAXP 1.2 jar files can be obtained in the Java Web Services -Developer Pack (JWSDP) available at -http://java.sun.com/products/jwsdp. - -Set the following properties in build.properties to the -file paths of the jars: - - jaxp-api.jar - - dom.jar - - sax.jar - - xercesImpl.jar - ---- -Xalan 2.5 -[required only if building with J2SE 1.3 up to J2SE 1.4.1] - -The Xalan jar file can be obtained in the Java Web Services -Developer Pack (JWSDP) available at -http://java.sun.com/products/jwsdp, as well as from -Apache at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j. - -Set the "xalan.jar" property in build.properties to the -jar file of Xalan. - -If using jdk 1.3, put xalan.jar in the lib directory -of ant so XSLT transformations of documentation can be -properly done. - ---- -JDBC Standard Extension 2.0 -[required only if building with J2SE 1.3] + $ mvn install <-- builds all targets and installs in local repository + $ mvn clean <-- removes all build artifacts + $ mvn release <-- builds all targets and releases to staging repo -The JDBC 2.0 Optional Package can be obtained from: -http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html +A typical build will use the 'install' goal that compiles all classes, runs +all the unit tests, creates the target bundles, and installs them in the +local Maven repository. -Set the "jdbc2_0-stdext.jar" property in build.properties to the -JDBC 2.0 Standard Extensions jar file path. +All library dependencies will be downloaded from the central Maven +repositories. You should be online when building. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Building the Standard tag library - -To build the distribution set your current directory to the 'standard' -directory into which you unpacked the distribution. - -Build 'standard' by executing ant in a shell. Some common build targets -include: - - > ant <-- builds the intermediate form of the library, - documentation, and example targets - > ant dist <-- builds all the distribution targets - > ant clean <-- deletes intermediate results so that target can - be rebuilt from scratch. - -Two directory hierarchies are created to contain the results of the -build: - -{base.dir}/ - build/ <-- Contains intermediate form results of - building standard custom library - dist/ <-- Contains the files that will be included - in the binary distribution of the - standard project - -The following directory and files are created when doing a build: - - * build/standard - Location of all directories and files built for the - standard taglib. - * build/standard/standard - Results of the build process - (classes, jar files, tlds) - * build/standard/standard-doc/ - Files used to create the - standard-doc.war file - * build/standard/standard-examples/ - Files used to create the - standard-examples.war file. - -The following directory and files are created when doing a distribution -build: - - * dist/standard/ - Location of all files built for a binary - distribution of the taglib. - * dist/standard/README - Information to use the binary distribution - of the standard tablib. - * dist/standard/javadoc/ - The javadocs - * dist/standard/lib/ - The standard jar files: jstl.jar and - standard.jar - * dist/standard/tld/ - Directory with the Tag Lib Descriptors for - the tag library. - * dist/standard/standard-doc.war - Tag Library documentation - war file. - * dist/standard/standard-examples.war - Tag Library examples - war file. - * dist/standard/tld - Directory with the Tag Lib Descriptors for - the tag library. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -USING THE STANDARD TAG LIBRARY - -See the README file of the binary distribution you have built with these -instructions. +Information about the project can be found in the 'pom.xml' project +descriptor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- +PROJECT MODULES -UNIT TESTING THE STANDARD TAG LIBRARY - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -OVERVIEW OF THE UNIT TEST FRAMEWORK - -The Unit test directory hierarchy should mimic the RI implementation hierarchy. This way, you have a mapping between the unit test and the file that it covers. - -If there's no appropriate mapping you can put the test in the general test directory: - -<JSTL_HOME>/test/org/apache/taglibs/standard - -The Test should be written using Junit Test name conventions and start with -"Test*.java" - -Here is the Unit test directory hierarchy: - - <JSTL_HOME>/ - test/ - conf/ <-- unit test configuration files - web/ <-- unit test web application files - WEB-INF/ - org/ - apache/ - taglibs/ - standard/ - extra/ - spath/ - functions/ - lang/ - jstl/ - resources/ - tag/ - common/ - core/ - fmt/ - sql/ - xml/ - el/ - core/ - fmt/ - sql/ - xml/ - rt/ - core/ - fmt/ - sql/ - xml/ - tei/ - tlv/ +There are four sub-modules: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -UNIT TEST BUILD ENVIRONMENT SETUP - -In order to build the Standard Unit Test Framework, you will need to set the -following properties and download the corresponding implementation files.

It is located here: - build/standard/standard/jstl_test.war - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -UNIT TEST RUNTIME SETUP - -You will need to have the Tomcat manager administration application enabled in -order to run the tests. The Unit Test build file uses the Tomcat manager to -automatically deploy and undeploy the Cactus tests. - -The following runtime properties need to be properly set in order to successfully run the unit tests: - - tomcat.webapps Tomcat webapps directory - username Tomcat username with manager role - privileges - password password for the user with manager - privileges - - web.server.host hostname for the running webserver - web.server.port port for the running webserver - -The Tomcat manager application may sometimes get into an unstable state after -many web application deployments and undeployments. If the Cactus tests start -failing for unknown reasons, stop your web container and clean out your work -directory before restarting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + spec <-- contains Apache's implementation of the API classes + impl <-- contains the implementation of tags from the 1.1 + namespace http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/* + jstlel <-- contains the implementation of tags from the 1.0 + namespace http://java.sun.com/jstl/* and uses the + original JSTL 1.0 version of EL + compat <-- contains the implementation of tags from the 1.0 + namespace but uses the JSP container implementation + of EL (which will be 2.1 or later). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
