http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34218 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-04-01 11:39 ------- OK, my tags implement some really application specific functions. I think there are more users adding some functionality to the struts-tags. For this users it will be easier to use as much code from struts-tags as they can, to be independent in concern of future changes in struts-tags and because there is no need to invent the tire twice (even if this are 4 lines of code). To understand my request for the enhancement, here is my additional use of struts-tags: All forms in my application could be "editable" or "readonly" depending on a bean in the HttpSession. - in case of input fields I only set the readonly attribute, ore not. - but in case of select boxes, there is no readonly field. If I set the boxes to disabled, they will be greyed out, which is not very readable to the user. Now I render the selectbox as readonly inputfield, displaying the selected value. So, if my form is editable, I call the doXxxTag()-methods from the superclasses. But if my form is readonly, I have to create a completely different output, but with the same logic behind: call evaluateExpressions() and calculateMatchValues() in my ELSelectTag.doStartTag() and OptionTag.selectTag(). This all works fine with reflection. But I thought, why am I not allowed, to call methods in sub-classes. Why I didnīt specifiy the concrete methods? I thought this bug-request as enhancement for all struts tags. In my case, I needed the upper listed three methods. But in other cases and for other users there will be other tags subclassed and other methods which will be overwritten or called by the subclasses. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
