TextArea

public abstract class BaseTextArea

The BaseTextArea is an abstract TransformationBean™ for creating a TextArea input field. The TEXTAREA element creates a multi-line text input control.

Note that subclasses of this bean actually provide the markup rendering used in/with Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. If you need to add support for a markup language that is not explicitly provided with AppDev Studio, then you must extend this class.

For More Information:

JSP custom tags provide an alternative to using the TransformationBeans™. Visit the Custom Tag Library Reference for additional information on the sas:TextArea custom tag.

Note: A snapshot of the AppDev Studio Developers Site is installed on your local Web server when you install AppDev Studio. To access the site from webAF, select Help -> Developer Site .
