Method Detail

release

public void release()

The life-cycle of a custom JSP tag is that the class is is instantiated when it is first required and then re-used for all subsequent invocations. When a JSP has non-mandatory properties it means that the setters for those properties will not be called if the properties are not provided and the old values will still be available which can corrupt the behaviour of the code. In order to prevent this from happening we should override the release method to ensure that all instance variables are reset to their initial state.
