The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Custom Java JSP tag

Asked by danw11 in Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL) & Server Tags, Java Server Pages (JSP), Spring

Tags: custom tag, jsp tag, spring framework

I need to solve this problem.  We are using the spring framework so perhaps a good custom spring tag is available to write....don't know.  The html below is expected by the front end html specialist....

Note below that this is the dynamic html that I need to generate where only the strings bgCatX_Y will change in value.  Also, the src="<filepath>"  will be dynamic.  I already created a Java hashmap to store these type of things and I will iterate through the map to define these dynamic sections.  The rest of this html will all be static.  There will be alot of output
here as the map contains data for alot of iterations of these divs.   I was thinking
about simply encapsulating all of this in a simple tag.

such that the html inserted into the jsp page would simply be my custom tagname of

<bi:buildimagefilepath />


Are their any other approaches that you would suggest, in your experience that may be better or
easier to maintain as far as building the right kind of tag?  Would there perhaps be a JSTL or
Spring tag that I could build that would be better or is it really a matter of preference?

Looking forward to your input.

Dan
