• Identify the tag library descriptor element names that declare the following:
• Given a custom tag, identify the necessary value for the bodycontent TLD element for any of the following tag types:
• Given a tag event method (doStartTag, doAfterBody, and doEndTag), identify the correct description of the methods trigger.
• Identify valid return values for the following methods:
• Given a "BODY" or "PAGE" constant, identify a correct description of the constant's use in the following methods: 12.7 Identify the method in the custom tag handler that accesses:
• Identify methods that return an outer tag handler from within an inner tag handler.
• Given a scenario description with a list of issues, select the design pattern (Value Objects, MVC, Data Access Object, or Business Delegate) that would best solve those issues.
