Add a parameter to PasswordField component to populate the password value
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TAPESTRY-2637
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2637
Project: Tapestry
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tapestry-core
Affects Versions: 5.0.15
Reporter: Alex Kotchnev
Fix For: 5.0.15
Currently, the PasswordField component does not display it's value. Although
this indeed represents best practices in handling passwords (e.g. if the
password field did display its value although masked, it would still be visible
in the source), the current behavior stumps new users and unnecessarily
enforces a particular process (e.g. never display the password) or forces a
user to split page containing the password field (e.g. what would have other in
orderwise been a single page to create and update a value, now has to be two
different pages) to avoid validation issues.
The requested parameter (e.g. "displayValue") would contain a warning in bold
that displaying the password value could be a security issue (and potentially
log a warning). The default value of the parameter should be "false", that is
it wouldn't display the password, unless explicitly enabled.
