This looks good to me. Fabrizio - should we create a branch in CVS for
1.1 - then we can start adding patches for folks w/o impacting 1.0?

Hi,
I just posted a patch for a new tag <display:subRow> in the
issueTracker.

func=detail&aid=1013562&group_id=73068&atid=536616
I'm a happy user of DisplayTag, but a new contributor. This tag
solves a pressing issue I've been facing, namely how to display
multiple rows for a single record. (for example, a main row of
columnar data, followed by a row with a comment that spans multiple
columns). See the issue for an example, but to summarize, it works
like this:
<display:table id="row">
<display:column title="Name" property="name"/>
<display:column title="Name" property="age"/>
<display:column title="Name" property="grade"/>
<display:subRow>
<td colspan="3">
<c:out value="${row.comment}"/>
</td>
</display:subRow>
</display:table>
This displays a 3 colspan row below every main row. By setting
various attributes, you can control whether the row goes above or
below the man row. You can also set the CSS style (separate from the
main row) allowing the elimination of internal borders. (Making the
multi-line record look like one contiguous row).
I was wondering if anyone had any comments on this approach. I played
with using TableDecorators to implement this, but found them
unsuitable for a variety of reasons. (the agony of including HTML in
my Java code and the lack of reusability).
If this patch is accepted into the code base (presumably for post 1.0
version) I'd be happy to work on docs, examples, etc.
Best, WILL
