Configuration: allow setting of common display:table attributes via properties file (excludedParams, requestURI, etc) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DISPL-277 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DISPL-277 Project: DisplayTag Type: Improvement Components: Configuration Reporter: Brad Wehrwein Priority: Minor Particularly in large-scale deployments of display:table, it requires a great deal of effort to modify every instance of display:table when an attribute must be changed application-wide (think hundreds of JSPs). I propose the addition of configuration (displaytag.properties) options to allow common attributes to be easily modified in a single location rather than forcing developers to touch every page. Specifying this information in the properties file would also allow the associated attributes to be removed from JSPs, simplifying and reducing the amount of actual code to maintain. This can apply to the following attributes which are likely to vary less than other attributes throughout: <display:table> - excludedParams - requestURI - sort - class (this is important. It breaks seperation of concerns- data vs. presentation. CSS is widely considered the proper way to provide style information (note: in one place)). <display:column> - headerClass (see display:table 'class', above) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
