   ## Summary
   
   This PR completes the comprehensive encapsulation of all UIBean fields by 
converting ALL remaining protected fields to private with public getter 
methods. This extends the fix from WW-5368 ([PR 
#1420](https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/1420)) to cover all protected 
fields in UIBean.
   
   Closes [WW-5589](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5589)
   
   ## Background
   
   WW-5368 identified that OGNL triggers false-positive security warnings when 
resource bundle keys or expressions contain tokens matching protected UIBean 
field names (e.g., "label", "name", "value"). The root cause was OGNL 
attempting to access protected fields during expression evaluation before 
realizing they should be treated as string literals.
   
   PR #1420 fixed the immediate issue by converting just the four most 
problematic fields (label, name, value, id) from protected to private with 
public getters. This PR extends that solution to ALL remaining protected fields 
for consistency and to prevent similar issues with other common field names 
like "key", "title", "disabled", "template", etc.
   
   ## Changes
   
   ### Core Changes to UIBean.java
   
   Converted **ALL** remaining protected fields to private with public getters:
   
   **Template-related fields:**
   - `templateSuffix`, `template`, `templateDir`, `theme`
   
   **Style/CSS fields:**
   - `cssClass`, `cssStyle`, `cssErrorClass`, `cssErrorStyle`
   
   **Form attribute fields:**
   - `key`, `disabled`, `tabindex`, `title`, `accesskey`
   
   **Label attribute fields:**
   - `labelPosition`, `labelSeparator`, `requiredPosition`, `errorPosition`, 
`requiredLabel`
   
   **Event handler fields:**
   - `onclick`, `ondblclick`, `onmousedown`, `onmouseup`, `onmouseover`, 
`onmousemove`, `onmouseout`
   - `onfocus`, `onblur`, `onkeypress`, `onkeydown`, `onkeyup`, `onselect`, 
`onchange`
   
   **Tooltip fields (deprecated):**
   - `tooltip`, `tooltipConfig`, `javascriptTooltip`, `tooltipDelay`, 
`tooltipCssClass`, `tooltipIconPath`
   
   **Other:**
   - `dynamicAttributes` Map
   
   Added comprehensive public getter methods with JavaDoc for all fields.
   
   ### Subclass Fixes
   
   Updated UIBean subclasses to use getters instead of direct field access:
   
   - **Anchor.java**: `template` → `getTemplate()`
   - **DoubleSelect.java**: `onchange` → `getOnchange()`
   - **Link.java**: `disabled` → `getDisabled()`, `title` → `getTitle()`
   - **Submit.java**: `key` → `getKey()`, `template` → `getTemplate()`
   - **Label.java**: `key` → `getKey()`
   - **Reset.java**: `key` → `getKey()`
   
   ### Test Coverage
   
   Added new test `testNoOgnlWarningsForAdditionalFields()` in UIBeanTest that:
   - Tests OGNL access to newly converted fields (key, title, disabled, 
cssClass, template, theme, tabindex, event handlers)
   - Verifies all public getters are accessible
   - Confirms no OGNL security warnings are triggered
   
   ## Test Results
   
   - ✅ All 26 UIBeanTest tests pass
   - ✅ All 103 component tests pass with no failures or errors
   - ✅ Clean compilation with no errors
   
   ## Benefits
   
   1. **Consistency**: All UIBean fields now follow JavaBean conventions 
(private fields, public getters)
   2. **Security**: Prevents OGNL from attempting direct field access, 
eliminating false-positive warnings
   3. **Future-proof**: Prevents similar issues with resource bundle keys or 
expressions matching any field name
   4. **Better encapsulation**: Follows Java best practices for class design
   
   ## Migration Impact
   
   This is a **binary-compatible** change:
   - All public setter methods remain unchanged
   - New public getter methods are added
   - Only internal subclasses needed updates (all included in this PR)
   - External code using setters is unaffected
