Unfortunately, it's not that simple with the Struts tags. Many of the tags extend a base class which defines a number of common attributes. However, just because the code for an attribute is available does *not* mean that it should be exposed for every tag that extends the base class.
A case in point is the HTML taglib. Which attributes are exposed for a particular tag is dependent upon the HTML 4.01 spec. In the implementation, it is very convenient to have several base classes which cover the large majority of attributes. However, there are some tags which extend the base classes, but which do not expose all of the attributes, so that they conform to the spec. Now, if we could get XDoclet to handle that... ;-) -- Martin Cooper > -----Original Message----- > From: Edgar Dollin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 7:22 AM > To: 'Struts Developers List' > Subject: RE: LabelTag > > > The number of missing attributes in the tag libraries is > large enough to > consider > a change, especially since writing tag libraries is one of the most > pleasurable > parts of what we do ;-). > > Edgar. > > > I do highly encourage the Struts committers to use XDoclet > for TLD and > > documentation generation (but I guess if it ain't broke, > don't fix it, > eh?). > > > > Erik > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
