Differences Between a JSP 1.1 and a JSP 1.2 TLD

If you’re jumping from JSP 1.1 directly to JSP 2.0, you may feel that the list above is incomplete. That’s because a number of things changed between JSP 1.1 and 1.2 as well.

Most of the differences were name changes for some elements for consistency with the naming conventions used in other J2EE descriptor files. More precisely, hyphens were added to separate words in element names, and the <info> element was replaced with the <description> element that is used for the same purpose in other descriptors. The following table summarizes these name changes:

JSP 1.1

JSP 1.2

<tlibversion>
<tlib-version>
<jspversion>
<jsp-version>
<shortname>
<short-name>
<info>
<description>
<tagclass>
<tag-class>
<teiclass>
<tei-class>
<bodycontent>
<body-content>

A number of new elements were also added to allow more descriptive information in the TLD. This information may be used by page-authoring tools and also by tools that generate user documentation from the TLD: <display-name>, <small-icon>, <large-icon>, <example>, <type>, and <variable>. How to use these new elements is described earlier in this section.
