Hello Display,
First.
We didn't discuss situation when application has more than one
resourse bundle. In our projects we try to make orientation on not
experienced developer who use well known JSTL <fmt> tag to show
messages.
In general, table column allways have some meta data for showing and
processing its content. May be it will be logical and necessary step
to include in column body some metadata tags, like <title>, so it will
be possible to use ready features of other taglibs and not to
implement them.
Second.
In connection we the previous I propose to create <decorator> tag
inside column tag, that uses some simple template features decorate
the content of the column, for example
<display:column ...>
<display:decorate><b>{0}</b><display:decorate>
</display:column>
using MessageFormat. Or any other convenient templates may be used.
Here may be any other solution, but this can be the simpliest.
It is not difficult to implement using predefined decorator for this
case.
Third.
It is possible to create another tag, for example <control> that is
the extension of <decorate> for showing active elements inside table
cell. Creating this tag we can incapsulate the variation of inputs,
textarea and select html in this tag for convenient creation of
controls and may be processing event for editing selected row in
table. Example
<disp:column...>
<disp:control type="textarea" name="text_{0}" rows="5"/>{0}</disp:control>
</disp:column>
If we need something special, we use <decorate> tag.
And the last question, i don't understand clearly, what do we wait
from refactored code by John York in this situation. May be processing
variables like ${status.index}? Or how it is connected with discussed
questions?
