Search taglib ver. 1.2

    Custom JSP taglib lets you write your own reports for Search servlet. In your configuration file for Search servlet you can set own JSP page for performing output (it is a parameter forward). And your JSP file will use this taglib for access to results of your search and visualizing the report. For example:
 


<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="s" %>

Found items: <s:getCounter/>

Results are:

<s:forEachItem>
  <br>URL is <%=url%>
  <br>Title is <%=title%>
  <br>Modified: <%=lastModified%>
  <br>Size is <%=size%> Kb
</s:forEachItem>

Body tag forEachItem lets you scan entities provided by Search servlet. In tag's body you can use the following variables described the current item: url - describes an URL for item (type is java.lang.String), title - describes a title for the current item (type is java.lang.String), lastModified - describes a last modification date (type is java.util.Date), size - describes a size in Kb for the current item (type is java.lang.Long).
