Good alternate for Jakarta Taglibs?

We use Jakarta Taglibs to ouput some basic HTML form elements like selects. It appears this library has been retired.. are the开发者_JAVA技巧re any good alternates? Looking for something simple that will take a Java Map and output it to HTML.

You can use JSTL <c:forEach> for this. Each iteration gives a Map.Entry back which in turn has getKey() and getValue() methods. Assuming that you've a Map<String, String> with option values as map keys and option labels as map values, here's an example:

<select name="foo">
    <c:forEach items="${bean.map}" var="entry">
        <option value="${entry.key}" ${entry.key == param.foo ? 'selected' : ''}>${entry.value}</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

As to the replacement of the legacy Jakarta taglib, have a look at MVC frameworks which offers taglibs to bind the model with the view. For example Struts 1.x (in essence a slight evolution of the legacy Jakarta taglib), Struts 2.x (a further evolution) and JSF (another evolution in the same direction as Struts 2.x).

Here's an example of how to render a HTML <select> in JSF.

<h:selectOneMenu id="foo" value="#{bean.selectedItem}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{bean.selectItems}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

JSF binds it transparently with the model without the need to write your own controller (servlet).
