Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) Tag Library

JSP 2.0 Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) is a framework for creating JSP taglibs that aid in rapid development of voice and multimodal applications.

The building blocks are atomic RDCs, which collect a single piece of user information. Examples are <rdc:date> or <rdc:isbn> . Composite RDCs may collect multiple pieces of user information. This is usually done by leveraging the functionality of existing RDCs. A composite has its own data model, and makes the collected pieces of information available in a structured form to the application. An example of a composite RDC is <rdc:dateRange> . Within the RDC framework, a component is a generic term, referring to either an atomic RDC or a composite RDC. Finally, a container is a helper tag used to aggregate multiple RDCs into a single coherent unit with respect to the task at hand and the associated dialog. It also defines the dialog management strategy. The most commonly used container is <rdc:group> . Various group dialog management strategies are supported and additional ones can be plugged in. A simple directed dialog, a rule-based strategy and an SCXML-based one are available.
