1. Do we have need of tags like these? 

<html:js src="/script/util.js" />
<html:css src="/css/style.css" />

Currently we are suppose to use html:rewrite tag or some crud method.

<script language="javascript" src="<html:rewrite src="/script/util.js"
/>"></script>

CSS is bit neat because of @import but JS is still making code look nasty.


2. Do we have need of tag attribute like this?

<html:form mode="edit">
...
</html:form>

<html:form mode="confirm">
...
</html:form>

<html:form mode="show">
...
</html:form>

Setting the mode attribute to 'confirm' will convert all form-field
into a hidden field and will replace all editable area with a label
showing current values. Similarly setting mode attribute to 'show'
will simply replace all editable area with a label showing current
values.

The show mode can be very well used for followings

* Same JSP code can be used to show details and edit details.
* Confirm filled values before finally submitting.
* Form can be made read-only or editable based on user's credentials.

This can be further improved to control field level rendering and security.
