Are you tired of building JSP forms with clunky syntax like: <input type="text" name="age" value="<jsp:getProperty name="person" property="age" />" > I know I am. It annoys me to no end, it's a pain to maintain, and worse - it looks like Java to many web designers who otherwise aren't afraid of the <input> tag. That menas *I* - as a programmer - get to play designer, too, and the smallest changes mean a programming change request. So I wrote a form taglibrary, largely inspired by the in16 taglibrary (of which I'm an admin; based on Sourceforge, it aims to be a open source taglib project. Highly recommended. See the roadmap for it at http://cupid.suninternet.com/~joeo/roadmap.html.) Now I can build forms with great ease, including validation if the client supports javascript: <form:form action="/servlets/handleUpdate"> <form:text name="person" property="age" required="true" /> </form:form> Where can you get this? Glad you asked. See http://cupid.suninternet.com/~joeo/Form.html for the base documentation. There are still a few things to do (in fact, proofing this email showed me one thing missing!) and some of the goals require skills I don't have, so any contributions or comments would be very helpful. This code is released under the Artistic License at the moment. ----------------------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
