Some ways to get the tag name of a jQuery object:
Use the prop() function:
$('<a/>').prop('tagName');
$('<a/>').prop('node...
Get tagName from the DOM element:
$('<a/>').get(0).tagName
nodeName from the DOM element seems to do the same:
$('<a/>').get(0).nodeName;
Use the is() function:
$('<a/>').is('A');
$('<a/>').is('a');

To implement a JSP custom tag with dynamic attributes (for example, to pass-thru arbitrary attributes not handled by the JSP tag):
Set the dynamic-attributes element to true in the TLD:
<tag>
<name>mark</name>

The tag handler must implement javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.DynamicAttributes :

Our custom tag, as implemented in the previous note , is broken when a template is used.
Create a template file ( home-template.xhtml ):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
and a test page that uses it ( home.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Then request the page with URL: http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/home.jsf?name=Jack .
You'll find that our hello tag works inside ui:repeat but fails to get the value defined by ui:param ! What's the problem? Our hello tag implementation evaluated the EL with the wrong EL context!
This is the corrected implementation:
package com.example;
import java.io.IOExcep...

Use the varStatus attribute with the ui:repeat tag to get the iteration index:
<ui:repeat varStatus="status" var="item" value="#{...
The varStatus attribute specifies the name of the exported request scoped variable for the status of the iteration.The object is a POJO with the following read-only JavaBeans properties. This scoped variable has nested visibility.
begin of type Integer
end of type Integer
index of type int
step of type Integer
even of type boolean
odd of type boolean
first of type boolean
last of type boolean

This is an example that uses tag handler, UI component and renderer together to support a custom taglib. The main purpose is to show how these components play together.
The tag renders

The improved custom taglib works with existing facelet ui taglibs. For example:
<ui:param name="theName" value="John"/> <my:hel... produces the expected output. However, a problem exists with the ui:repeat tag: <h3>With ui:repeat</h3> <ui:repeat var="theName... When tested with a URL like: http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/?name=Zack&name... the raw EL prints out the correct names, but my custom tag substitutes empty string for theName2 ! In theory, the response is rendered in the Render Response phase, way after the Apply Request Values phase, actual values should be available to EL. The answer to this anomaly turned out to be very deep ! Yes, right there in the code! I would consider this a bug in facelets implementation, but the JSF spec did not tell what the expected behavior should be. In my custom...

In the simple taglib example , I used a tag handler class to implement a taglib. This is an example to implement a taglib with a UI component. The purpose is to use a custom tag to split a string and print each part in a separate paragraph, i.e., print
<p>john</p> <p>steve</p> <p>mike</p> with custom tag <my:foreach> : <my:foreach var="who" value="john steve mike"> ... These are the files: pom.xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"... src/main/java/com/example/UIForeash.java : package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-c... src/main/resources/META-INF/foreach.taglib.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <facelet... How to use: Put the JAR file generated by the above project in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the web app. If the web app is a Maven project, just add the taglib project as a dependency:...
