Bug 144086

Summary: Allow for creating tag handlers that extend TagSupport
Product: javaee Reporter: ats37 <ats37>
Component: CodeAssignee: issues@javaee <issues>
Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description ats37 2008-08-15 15:41:21 UTC 
The new TagHandler wizard (and generated code) give the choice of creating a handler that extends either BodyTagSupport
or (if J2EE 1.4 or above) SimpleTagSupport.  Most of the tags in a taglib I'm maintaining implement just Tag, not
BodyTag, and therefore extend javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport (which has also been present since J2EE 1.2). 
However, there is no template under File -> New that allows me to create another one of these (other than the general
Class one, which doesn't count).  Rather than adding a new template, I figure a better solution is to enhance the
existing template to add TagSupport as a third option for the "Tag Support Class to Extend" setting.
