Roland McIntosh commented on WW-4188:
-------------------------------------
I think using a synonym for "required" is silly when we could simply use
"required" -- as a boolean -- directly, without breaking html5. For people
seeking to use the html5 {{required="required"}} attribute, they can make their
own "text.ftl" in their own theme with this added:
{code}
<#if parameters.required?default(false)>
required="required"<#rt/>
</#if>
{code}
This has the advantage of preserving backward compatibility with existing
templates.
> In struts tag lib, required attribute removed in latest version ie 2.3.15.1

> Key: WW-4188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4188
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Other
> Affects Versions: 2.3.15.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: mahendran
> Assignee: Lukasz Lenart
> Labels: struts-tags-required-attribute
> Fix For: 2.3.16
>
>
> we are using struts 2.0.5 and 2.3.4.1 in our applications. And we decided to
> migrate to 2.3.15.1 to get the security fixes.
> we use struts tags to render UI components and using 'required' attribute to
> get the '*' along with the components.
> In the version 2.3.15.1, the attribute required is dropped, and we need to
> change to requiredLabel to get the same effect, this increases
> migration&testing effort for a application which has 1000+pages
> Hence we require a backward compatibility for 'required' attribute in struts
> tags.
> Also nowhere in the migration document this information is specified. This
> makes the struts migration as block-box. Hence we require a proper migration
> document which should specify what are all the changes required in the
> application to migrate the struts.
> But we managed to get the '*' in UI by replacing
> UIBean.class,AbsctactUITag.class and struts.tld from 2.3.4.1 version.
