  • Spring Form Tag Library
    Spring Form Tag Library The Spring Web MVC framework provides a set of tags in the form of a tag library, which is used to construct views (web pages). The Spring Web MVC integrates Spring's form tag library. Spring's form tag accesses to the command object, and also it refers to the data our Spring controller deals with. A Command object can be defined as a JavaBean that stores user input, usually entered through HTML form is called the Command object. The Spring form tag makes it easier to develop, maintain, and read JSPs. The Spring form tags are used to construct user interface elements such as text and buttons. Spring form tag library has a set of tags such as <form> and <input>. Each form tag provides support for the set of attributes of its corresponding HTML tag counterpart, which allows a developer to develop UI components in JSP or HTML pages. Configuration – spring-form.tld The Spring form tag library comes bundled in spring-webmvc.jar. The spring- form.tld is known as Tag Library Descriptor (tld) file, which is available in a web application and generates HTML tags. The Spring form tag library must be defined at the top of the JSP page. The following directive needs to be added to the top of your JSP pages, in order to use Spring form tags from this library: <%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %> Here, form is the tag name prefix, which will be used for the tags from this Spring form tag library in JSP pages.

  • Dynamic Forms Guide for Faculty and Staff
    Dynamic Forms User Guide University of Miami Graduate School Dynamic Forms Basics • Basic Definitions: there are two types of form users – Initiator (student): the user who starts a form. – Co-signer (faculty and staff): a user to whom a form is routed, after the initiator has submitted the form. The co-signer may just need to review and sign the form, but in some cases, they might have to complete a section of the form. Forms may have more than one co-signer. • Dynamic Forms uses UM Single Sign-On (SSO) for every form, so there is no need for additional login credentials. For every form, all users must use their official UM email address. Therefore, all forms must be initiated by the student who is making the request and forms can only be signed by the specific co-signers to whom the form is sent (i.e. Graduate Program Directors, Associate Deans of Graduate Education, Advisors and Committee Members). • Co-signers will receive an email notification from [email protected] whenever they need to sign a form. Therefore, this email address should be added to co-signers’ safe senders’ lists to ensure the notification email does not land in junk/spam/clutter folders. To visit Dynamic Forms for any other reason, click here to go to the home page. • Signatures will appear as a timestamp with the user’s printed name and the date and time of signature. • Users will only be able to write or click on the section of the form they are allowed to fill out.
