Class GroovySyntaxTag

java.lang.Object

org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.taglib.GroovySyntaxTag

All Implemented Interfaces:

GrailsTag

Direct Known Subclasses:

GroovyCollectTag, GroovyDefTag, GroovyEachTag, GroovyElseIfTag, GroovyElseTag, GroovyFindAllTag, GroovyGrepTag, GroovyIfTag, GroovyUnlessTag, GroovyWhileTag

public abstract class GroovySyntaxTag
extends java.lang.Object
implements GrailsTag

A tag type that gets translated directly into Groovy syntax by the GSP parser.

This is used for Java-implemented internal tags that the Parse class uses to directly inject code into the generated GSP source. These tags can do more than custom taglibs as the operate at the code level, rather than at the runtime view rendering level

Method Detail

init

public void init(java.util.Map context)

Specified by:

init in interface GrailsTag

public void setWriter(java.io.Writer w)

Description copied from interface: GrailsTag

Sets the writer that processes the tag

Specified by:

setWriter in interface GrailsTag

setAttributes

public void setAttributes(java.util.Map attributes)

Description copied from interface: GrailsTag

Sets the attributes of the tag

Specified by:

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from interface: GrailsTag

Sets an attribute of the tag

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface GrailsTag

isKeepPrecedingWhiteSpace

public abstract boolean isKeepPrecedingWhiteSpace()

Tags must return the correct value to indicate whether or not whitespace before this tag should be kept in the output.

This is for tags that must follow other tags, such as g:else or g:elseif that do not allow content between them and the previous tag, and need to swallow the whitespace between them.

Returns:

true if any whitespace immediately before the tag should be kept in the output - false if it is to be discarded

isAllowPrecedingContent

public abstract boolean isAllowPrecedingContent()

Tags must return the correct value to indicate whether or not non-whitespace content is permitted before this tag.

This is for tags that must follow other tags, such as g:else or g:elseif that do not allow content between them and the previous tag. It is simply used as a safety mechanism to trap incorrect usage of tags.

TODO rework this and combine with isKeepPrecedingWhiteSpace as really they are used in the same situations

Returns:

true if any content is allowed immediately before the tag - false if it is an error to have such content before it

calculateExpression

protected java.lang.String calculateExpression(java.lang.String expr)

doEachMethod

protected void doEachMethod(java.lang.String in)

Parameters:

in -

endEachMethod

protected void endEachMethod()

getForeachRenamedIt

public java.lang.String getForeachRenamedIt()
