Method Detail

getPriority

public float getPriority()

Return the priority of this Extension. Extensions are registered from lowest to highest priority. So if for some reason you need to come before/after another existing extension make sure your priority is lower/higher than theirs.

Specified by:

getImplementedExtensions

public java.util.Iterator getImplementedExtensions()

This should return the list of extensions implemented by this BridgeExtension.

Specified by:

getImplementedExtensions in interface BridgeExtension

Returns:

An iterator containing strings one for each implemented extension.

Human readable description of the extension. Perhaps that should be a resource for internationalization? (although I suppose it could be done internally)

Specified by:

registerTags

public void registerTags(BridgeContext ctx)

This method should update the BridgeContext with support for the tags in this extension. In some rare cases it may be necessary to replace existing tag handlers, although this is discouraged.
