Tag s:form silently rewrites "." in id attibute values
------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-3337
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3337
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin - Tags
Affects Versions: 2.1.8
Reporter: Andreas Krüger
"Affects Version/s" is actually 2.1.8.1.
In my JSP, I have a <s:form id="some.complicated.value">
The HTML comes out at <form id="some_complicated_value">.
The dots in the id value silently get changed to underscores.
I did not find this replacement documented. Places I looked include
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/form.html and
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/tag-syntax.html and
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/form-tags.html .
Suggestion:
Either fix the tags library to not silently rewrite attribute values. This is
prefered by this bug reporter.
If a developer takes the trouble to nail down the id attribute to a specific
value, that's the specific value that should be used.
Or else, if there is a reason for the rewrite, kindly document both the rewrite
and the reason.
