One of the view technologies you can use with the Spring Framework is Java Server Pages (JSPs). To help you implement views using Java Server Pages the Spring Framework provides you with some tags for evaluating errors, setting themes and outputting internationalized messages. Please note that the various tags generated by this form tag library are compliant with the XHTML-1.0-Strict specification and attendant DTD. This appendix describes the spring-form.tld tag library.
