A problem that I am running into increasingly frequently is that of having so many tags on a page that it overflows an apparent method size limit in a class file. The most common source of tag proliferation is the following pattern: <html:option value="X"><bean:message key="text.for.x"></html:option> For me, this is an extremely common pattern, and I'm guessing that's true for other people too. I'm wondering if it would make sense to either add an attribute to the option tag, or to create a new tag that does both. The former might look like: <html:option key="text.for.x" value="X"/> Thoughts, anyone? -- Martin Cooper Tumbleweed Communications
