JET Syntax Reference

JET has the following directives

  • @jet - affects Java code created by the JET compiler.
  • @taglib - imports a tag library into the template for use, and assigns it a unique namespace prefix.

JET recognizes the following "Classic" JET directives, but does not yet implement them. An error message is issued if any of the following directives are recognized:

  • @include
  • @start
  • @end

To emit the characters <%@ in a templates output, enter <\%@. To emit %>, enter %\>

The @jet directive

The @jet directive controls the name of the generated Java class, its containing package and the Java classes it imports.

All attributes are optional.The following tag summarizes the available attributes.
