Method Summary

void	collect(javax.servlet.jsp.JspContext ctx, javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.JspFragment bodyFragment) Collect input from the user
void	confirm() Deprecated. This behavior will be deprecated from the next minor version (RDC 1.1), and will be removed in the next major version (2.0) of the RDC tag library. A container should not take on the responsibility to confirm for its children, since it does not attempt to decipher the meaning of their public data models, and hence, cannot produce meaningful prompts without significant configuration. Confirmation is best handled by components.
void	finish(javax.servlet.jsp.JspContext ctx) Cleanup for this invocation of the doTag()
boolean	initialize(javax.servlet.jsp.JspContext ctx, javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.JspFragment bodyFragment) Initialization for this invocation of the doTag()
void	setGroupTag(GroupTag groupTag) Set the GroupTag instance whose dialog is to be managed
