You can do that with Javascript, and I'm relatively certain that it's the
only way.
It's certainly possible to generate Javascript code using tag extensions; in
my most recent project, we have that for precisely this purpose -- sending
focus to an input field in error situations. But that's so specialized that
I don't think it appropriate for a general-purpose library like struts.
