org.ditchnet.jsp.taglib.tabs.listener
Class TabServletContextListener

java.lang.Object
  org.ditchnet.jsp.taglib.tabs.listener.TabServletContextListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.EventListener, javax.servlet.ServletContextListener

public class TabServletContextListener

extends java.lang.Object

implements javax.servlet.ServletContextListener

Since:

0.8

ServletContextListener that handles extracting CSS, JavaScript, and image resource files from this taglib's JAR file, and places them in a directory called org.ditchnet.taglib/ in this web app's root directory. Why do this? The HTML files in which the tabs are used must have access to the CSS, JavaScript and image files that render the tabs correctly. Therefore, they must be placed in a known location outside of the WEB-INF directory so that client browsers can access them.

By implementing this feature as as ServletContextListener, These resources are deployed immediately on reloading your web app, and are therefore available before the first request!
