BaseComponent gets local parameters 'cssclass' and 'id' from configuration and sets any values on the request under the same attribute names.
Container is used for dynamic rendering of HST component in your jsp.
HST version 2.04 and up has a hst:defineObjects tag to render all child components in the order they are configured. Container supports rendering child components in a custom order.
It reads the child component names and sets the values on the request under the attribute name 'includes', which is a list.
Beforehand, it sorts the component child names alphabetically. Derived classes can adjust the sorting by configuring a 'sorting' parameter and implementing a sort algotythm.
In the frontend, the child includes can be used in the <hst:include> tag as follows:
<c:forEach var="include" items="${includes}">
<hst:include ref="${include}" />
</c:forEach>Component that does a forward on the response base on the component configuration parameter named 'forward'. The parameter should reflect a site map path starting with a "/" and is relative to the root of the HST sitemap.
Component that does a redirect on the response or on the component, based on the component parameters 'type' (value 'response' or 'component') and 'redirect' (site map path).
