public abstract class FunctionTag

extends JameleonTagSupport
implements Storable, BreakPoint

Represents an abstract function point that does a lot behind the scenes for the function point developer. The following instance variables are described:

fResults - Results for this function point. Basically, the same information is kept in the session results as are in these results, except the function results only keep information about this function.
functionId - This is a brief description of what this function point is used for in the test case. This is a required attribute that is set in the macro tag of each function point. This is also used for logging and results.
log - @see org.apache.log4j.Logger an easy way to send messages about the function point to the logs.

The steps to creating an abstract function tag for a plugin are as follows:

Implement the optional store(java.lang.String,int) method
Override the default behavior of setupEnvironment(), being sure to call super first. The new behavior should be to get the corresponding SessionTag for the plug-in if a handle on the application is kept there. Use the Jelly-provided findAncestorWithClass(class) method to get a handle on the parent SessionTag. The abstract FunctionTag implementation should set the handle on the application being tested to a local instance variable for easy manipulation for FunctionTag extenders. If use of the plug-in FunctionTag requires a handle on the application, then it is good practice to throw a JameleonScriptException if the an ancestor of the plug-in SessionTag isn't found.
Write your wrapper methods to make life easier for implementers of the plug-in.

Actually, to implement a FunctionTag for a plug-in is as simple as extending this base class and nothing more. The above list is provided as recommendation only.

To implement a FunctionTag from an existing plugin, the following methods must be implemented:

testBlock()

The following methods help define the behaviour of the function point and should be implemented not at the plugin level, but at the customization layer the user will do:
