extends <a href="../../../../javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/JspTag.html" title="interface in javax.servlet.jsp.tagext">JspTag</a></pre>
<div class="block">The interface of a classic tag handler that does not want to manipulate
 its body.  The Tag interface defines the basic protocol between a Tag
 handler and JSP page implementation class.  It defines the life cycle
 and the methods to be invoked at start and end tag.

 <p><B>Properties</B></p>

 <p>The Tag interface specifies the setter and getter methods for the core
 pageContext and parent properties.</p>

 <p>The JSP page implementation object invokes setPageContext and
 setParent, in that order, before invoking doStartTag() or doEndTag().</p>

 <p><B>Methods</B></p>

 <p>There are two main actions: doStartTag and doEndTag.  Once all
 appropriate properties have been initialized, the doStartTag and
 doEndTag methods can be invoked on the tag handler.  Between these
 invocations, the tag handler is assumed to hold a state that must
 be preserved.  After the doEndTag invocation, the tag handler is
 available for further invocations (and it is expected to have
 retained its properties).</p>

 <p><B>Lifecycle</B></p>

 <p>Lifecycle details are described by the transition diagram below,
 with the following comments:</p>
 <ul>
 <li> [1] This transition is intended to be for releasing long-term data.
 no guarantees are assumed on whether any properties have been retained
 or not.
 <li> [2] This transition happens if and only if the tag ends normally
 without raising an exception
 <li> [3] Some setters may be called again before a tag handler is
 reused.  For instance, <code>setParent()</code> is called if it's
 reused within the same page but at a different level,
 <code>setPageContext()</code> is called if it's used in another page,
 and attribute setters are called if the values differ or are expressed
 as request-time attribute values.
 <li> Check the TryCatchFinally interface for additional details related
 to exception handling and resource management.
 </ul>

 <IMG src="doc-files/TagProtocol.gif" alt="Lifecycle Details Transition Diagram for Tag">

 <p>Once all invocations on the tag handler
 are completed, the release method is invoked on it.  Once a release
 method is invoked <em>all</em> properties, including parent and
 pageContext, are assumed to have been reset to an unspecified value.
 The page compiler guarantees that release() will be invoked on the Tag
 handler before the handler is released to the GC.</p>

 <p><B>Empty and Non-Empty Action</B></p>
 <p>If the TagLibraryDescriptor file indicates that the action must
 always have an empty action, by an &lt;body-content&gt; entry of "empty",
 then the doStartTag() method must return SKIP_BODY.</p>

 <p>Otherwise, the doStartTag() method may return SKIP_BODY or
 EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE.</p>

 <p>If SKIP_BODY is returned the body, if present, is not evaluated.</p>

 <p>If EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE is returned, the body is evaluated and
 "passed through" to the current out.</p></div>

<div class="block">Get the parent (closest enclosing tag handler) for this tag handler.

 <p>
 The getParent() method can be used to navigate the nested tag
 handler structure at runtime for cooperation among custom actions;
 for example, the findAncestorWithClass() method in TagSupport
 provides a convenient way of doing this.

 <p>
 The current version of the specification only provides one formal
 way of indicating the observable type of a tag handler: its
 tag handler implementation class, described in the tag-class
 sub-element of the tag element.  This is extended in an
 informal manner by allowing the tag library author to
 indicate in the description sub-element an observable type.
 The type should be a sub-type of the tag handler implementation
 class or void.
 This additional constraint can be exploited by a
 specialized container that knows about that specific tag library,
 as in the case of the JSP standard tag library.</div>

 This method is invoked by the JSP page implementation object.

 <p>
 The doStartTag method assumes that the properties pageContext and
 parent have been set. It also assumes that any properties exposed as
 attributes have been set too.  When this method is invoked, the body
 has not yet been evaluated.

 <p>
 This method returns Tag.EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE or
 BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED to indicate
 that the body of the action should be evaluated or SKIP_BODY to
 indicate otherwise.

 <p>
 When a Tag returns EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE the result of evaluating
 the body (if any) is included into the current "out" JspWriter as it
 happens and then doEndTag() is invoked.

 <p>
 BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED is only valid  if the tag handler
 implements BodyTag.

 <p>
 The JSP container will resynchronize the values of any AT_BEGIN and
 NESTED variables (defined by the associated TagExtraInfo or TLD)
 after the invocation of doStartTag(), except for a tag handler
 implementing BodyTag whose doStartTag() method returns
 BodyTag.EVAL_BODY_BUFFERED.</div>

 This method is invoked by the JSP page implementation object
 on all Tag handlers.

 <p>
 This method will be called after returning from doStartTag. The
 body of the action may or may not have been evaluated, depending on
 the return value of doStartTag.

 <p>
 If this method returns EVAL_PAGE, the rest of the page continues
 to be evaluated.  If this method returns SKIP_PAGE, the rest of
 the page is not evaluated, the request is completed, and
 the doEndTag() methods of enclosing tags are not invoked.  If this
 request was forwarded or included from another page (or Servlet),
 only the current page evaluation is stopped.

 AT_END variables (defined by the associated TagExtraInfo or TLD)
