The various smart "options" tags should allow smarter handling of the "id"
attribute
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: STS-700
URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-700
Project: Stripes
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tag Library
Affects Versions: Release 1.5.1
Environment: Linux/Jetty (doesn't matter)
Reporter: Mike McNally
Priority: Minor
The "options-collection", "options-enumeration", and "options-map" tags all
allow for an HTML "pass-through" value for the "id" attribute. Well, if you
think about it at all, that's not really useful - almost of necessity that'll
wind you up with every generation option element having the same "id" value,
which would rarely be desirable (it's not really even valid).
I think that instead it should be possible to apply the same capabilities that
those tags provide for option value and label to the "id" attribute. For
options-collection, the "id" attribute (or a new one, to leave the old one
around for whatever bizarre purposes it's already serving) should interpret the
value as a property reference for the collection objects. For
"options-enumeration", it might be nice to have the choice of enumeration value
ordinal, or name, or possibly an arbitrary property for bean-enhanced enums.
For "options-map", you might want to use the map key for the "id" or maybe a
map entry value sub-property.
Giving the options elements unique "id" values allows for simpler client-side
code, to (for example) hide/reveal portions of a form based on the value of the
pull-down.
That can be done with the option value too, but the "id" would be somewhat more
robust.
