Timothy Stone commented on STS-751:
-----------------------------------
No need to apologize. Thanks for replying.
As a Stripes advocate, the technical lead of a team of HTML developers, and the
internal standards creator for HTML, JS and CSS coding, I'm not without my
passion regarding this improvement.

My rather large, international organization endorses the use of OSS that is
publicly released, has an active community, and can demonstrate adoption. There
is a rather large governance organization that would frown on the use of forked
OSS libraries that were not getting the same vetting process, whatever level
that vetting process might be by project. Additionally, maintaining release
compatibility would likely run afoul of the same governance oversight (even
with the simple text-book use of Vendor branches in CVS, SVN, etc). However,
when Stripes can be released through Maven, this would make locally forked JAR
releases easier to manage through a local Maven repository.
Without providing an incredible amount of detail, just know that these policies
exist and can come bundled with incredible amounts of documentation in large
organizations.
If anyone should download and review the patch, you'll note that I'm using
PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE in the patch. I did use PageContext.REQUEST_SCOPE per
Nikolaos recommendation, but did not want to upload another patch with just
this change, *until* I got it working.

> Key: STS-751
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-751
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tag Library
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5
> Environment: No specific OS required; no specific Java version
> required; etc...
> Reporter: Nikolaos
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: stripes-xhtml-patch.tar.gz, stripes-xhtml-patches.tar.gz

> HTML and XHTML documents have some key differences.
> For example - if we consider the <input> tag:
> - In HTML, the <input> tag has no end tag e.g. <input name="website.url"
> type="text" size="30">
> - In XHTML, the <input> tag must be properly closed, like this <input />
> e.g. <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" />
> Stripes 1.5.x however does not have a mechanism to discern whether or not to
> properly close tags or not and as such takes the safer approach which is to
> explicitly close tags as it results in valid XHTML and is not an error for
> HTML but results in a warning when validating HTML documents. Although the
> latter is not a critical issue it does result in needless or unnecessary
> complaints when validating and as such is an annoyance albeit minor.
> Struts since 1.x has solved this issue quite easily by allowing the inclusion
> of the xhtml="true" attribute to mark that closure is required (false
> indicates no closure). In this manner authors of XHTML and HTML documents
> are equally satisfied in not having any errors or extraneous warnings.
> Timothy Stone had reported this issue and classified it as a bug here:
> http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=11931#action_11931
> The issue was rightly closed as "Not a bug" as most of the discussion was
> based on a non-w3c validator which yielded results that considered the
> validation unsuccessful which is not the case with the w3c validator (not to
> mention that it is irrelevant whether or not XHTML is considered dead or we
> should align to HTML 5 - etc...).
> As such this issue report is a re-statement of the above closed issue
> reported as an improvement and setting the stage for patch to be attached.
