understanding the validator stuff

[Jack Tauson]

Trying to get rid of struts related spring modules /validator stuff from my code as we are no longer using struts. I'm seeing the following defined in my JSP

I have spring-validator.jsp which contains the following:

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springmodules.org/tags/commons-validator"
	prefix="v"%>

<v:javascript dynamicJavascript="false" staticJavascript="true" />

And then in one of my JSP page, I see it being called like this:

<v:javascript formName="orderForm" dynamicJavascript="true"
	staticJavascript="false" cdata="true" /> 
<script type="text/javascript"
	src="<c:url value='/scripts/spring-validator.jsp'/>"></script>

1. What does defining the prefix "v" and "javascript" mean in the above code?

2. What does dynamicJavascript = "true" means?


So far whenever I've seen the usage of springframework tags, which are defined like this:

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form"%>

I've used that it's being used in the form using prefix "form" prefix, which was easy to understand. But the spring-validator stuff is something I'm trying to understand such that I can get rid of it and what I need to do to get it replaced.

Prefix v?

Sorry, I didn't understand what you were trying to say.

The namespace that maps the tag to the tag library. It can be anything, but short namespace id are popular because you you don't have to type as much.

Caution though. Be aware of the difference between a taglib definition with a namespace and the xhtml namespace tags, which also use mapping IDs.
