Filtering for options-enumeration/options-collection
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: STS-300
                 URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-300
             Project: Stripes
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Tag Library
    Affects Versions: Release 1.4.1
            Reporter: Andy
         Assigned To: Tim Fennell


Currently the options-enumeration and options-collection tags render all values 
in the enum or collection.

They will be more useful if filtering criteria can be specified when not all 
values should be rendered.

package xxx.enums;
public enum MyNumber { ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN;
public boolean getIsPrime() { return this==TWO || this==THREE || this==FIVE || 
this==SEVEN; }
public boolean getIsEven() { return (ordinal() % 2) == 1; }
}

<stripes:options-enumeration enum="xxx.enums.MyNumber"/>
(renders all seven options)

<stripes:options-enumeration enum="xxx.enums.MyNumber" where="isPrime"/>
(renders only TWO, THREE, FIVE, SEVEN)

<stripes:options-enumeration enum="xxx.enums.MyNumber" where="isEven"/>
(renders only TWO, FOUR, SIX)

If the proposed where= attribute supports some kind of expression language 
(EL?), it will be much more flexible:

<stripes:options-enumeration enum="xxx.enums.MyNumber" where="isPrime && 
!isEven"/>
(renders only THREE, FIVE, SEVEN)

For symmetry, the options-collection tag should likewise take a where= 
attribute.

A typical use would be, where="theCurrentUserCanSeeThisOption" :)
