And not to mention that debugging for new users is not a trivial task!

The question is do we want to create one Struts tag library that does everything, or focus on tags that require close ties with our framework? While I like the idea of providing more features and tags to our users, I wonder if within Struts is the best place to host it...

I know I've implemented paging a dozen different ways, and reducing to
a tag of our own sounds like a good idea. Ditto with sorted tables. If
you wanted to contribute the tags, the thing to do would be to file a
CLA and open a JIRA ticket with the code attached,.

Hello,
I've been working with webwork since June.  My company migrated from a
home-grown webframework to webwork and it has been a very good
experience.  I'm excited to see how struts2 can improve on an already
top-notch framework.

In the process of integrating webwork with our software, I implemented
several UI tags that probably could be used on other projects. I wanted
to get a feel for whether there was a desire to add these tags to the
core struts project.  Although there are other open source tags that
implement this functionality, we leverage the template based nature of
the UI tags very heavily and wanted tags that allowed us this type of
customization.

Pager - the pager tag is used to display a small pager display to allow
pagination navigation. (e.g. << < 1 to 6 of 30 > >>) This is used on
almost all the pages where we have lists of data.

SortColumn - the sort column tag displays the column name, the current
sort direction and is hyperlinked so that the sort direction/selected
sort column can be changed (e.g. Name ^ or Name v)

So, my question is: Is there any interest in adding these kinds of tags
to the core struts tag library, or should these be separate?  I would
think there would be enough other projects out there that would need
these types of tags to warrant it, however, I've been doing only
database apps for the last 2 years, so my perspective may be skewed a bit.
Thanks,
Tom
