Interface JspCompilerAdapter

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultJspCompilerAdapter, JasperC

public interface JspCompilerAdapter

The interface that all jsp compiler adapters must adher to.

A compiler adapter is an adapter that interprets the jspc's parameters in preperation to be passed off to the compier this adapter represents. As all the necessary values are stored in the Jspc task itself, the only thing all adapters need is the jsp task, the execute command and a parameterless constructor (for reflection).

Method Summary

JspMangler	createMangler()
boolean	execute() Executes the task.
boolean	implementsOwnDependencyChecking() ask if compiler can sort out its own dependencies
void	setJspc(JspC attributes) Sets the compiler attributes, which are stored in the Jspc task.

Method Detail

setJspc

void setJspc(JspC attributes)

Sets the compiler attributes, which are stored in the Jspc task.

Parameters:

attributes - the jsp compiler attributes

execute

boolean execute()
                throws BuildException

Executes the task.

Returns:

has the compilation been successful

Throws:

BuildException - on error

createMangler

JspMangler createMangler()

Returns:

an instance of the mangler this compiler uses

implementsOwnDependencyChecking

boolean implementsOwnDependencyChecking()

ask if compiler can sort out its own dependencies

Returns:

true if the compiler wants to do its own depends
