Exactly some of the problems I have been having with the tags as they currently exist.

Well, this is the thing...how would I know in advance? :) Seriously. I have no idea what kind of requirements are coming up next month. An example of something we've done in the past is extending Struts HTML tags to incorporate access control features (read-only, write, mask sensitive info, etc.) While I wasn't involved with that effort, I'm looking at the source code, and it's done with copy-and-pasteing the old code and sprinkling in the access control checks and changes to rendering the value property. 90% of the code remains unchanged, but we had to copy-and-paste the entire thing. There is no other way to plug-in the access control enhancements in the tags without doing that. And we didn't feel like littering JSP code with logic tags. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
