velcrotag

Velcrotag is a JSP tag library targeted toward generating/decorating the HTML table. I know at this point you may ask why another HTML tag while there are several tag libraries available like DisplayTag or even the whole framework like JSF, Tapestry or Wicket currently have HTML component ... [More] available. I have several reasons to create this project: Tons of enterprise projects are still using JSP technology. I don't think we will just get rid of JSP in one day and switch to some other revolutionary framework like Tapestry or Wicket. This is the reason why framework like Struts or Spring MVC would prevail just because they are evolutionary! Some other tag libraries like DisplayTag is just so bloated and difficult to use or reused. It also require a lot more time to read the documentation and configure. Creating a open source projects to help others is fun! Some example of how this JSP ta can be used Simple table: Table with custom inline item renderer: Alert More sophisticated table with nested table tag inside: U.S.A ${nestedTableRow.country} N/A OK, now you have the idea. You can specify the item renderer for each column using either: ust the data field name of the collection: Ognl is being used to get the object property he inline item renderer: as you see above with JSTL and EL syntax ustom/reusable item renderer class. So please jump in, use it, requesting new features or help me develop it. [Less]

cfttaglib

We moved - We decided to move our project to http://cftl.riaforge.org/ We won't update the code here any more. So please go there to get the latest code. Creating a ColdFusion Tag Library like Webwork's tag library for non-framework, Fusebox framework, and possibly Model-Glue framework. ... [More] The library is created for CFMX 7. Right now only the Fusebox version is in the work. The goal of this project is to limit human-errors, maintain consistent, shorten development time, and take care various mundane activities when developing UI. It does nothing more than what an average developer cannot do himself. So don't expect the 'wow' effect! Goals: 1. Reduce/eliminate the needs for # signs in creating forms 2. Reduce/eliminate the needs for cfparams in creating forms 3. Reduce the needs for manually writing client and server-side validation 4. Reduce redundant typing in creating forms 5. Create 508 compliance forms Please read the Planning documentation under the Links section on the right for more information. Here is an example of how you create and edit accounts with cfTagLib:             You may have noticed that there are no # signs in the form. Update: I just made modification to the library so that it would work with non-framework sites. It won't have as much features such the other ones, but it should work. - 12/05/2006 [Less]
