Nikolaos commented on STS-751:
------------------------------
Iwao,
Can you please explain what it is your POC does? i.e. how it attempts to solve
this problem. Love to look at the code but an overview would be better for all.
Timothy,
1) When you were testing your patch code was it on 1.5.4? Just curious because
the nested layout stuff is *broken* there and is a known issue.
2) Also as far as your 2nd option is concerned by embedding something in the
<form> tag are we not ignoring other tags that might need to be output
appropriately... i.e. it doesn't feel right as an entire document would be in
HTML or XHTML not just the <form> tag.
3) I agree with Ben but if the issue is the name he picked for the tag (which I
agree is way too similar to the HTML options) then why not simply come up with
another name for the tag. I don't think Ben spent a whole lot of time thinking
about a specific name but rather was stating that he didn't like the initial
suggestion. So how about something like the following:
<s:doctypeOptions xhtml="false" />
All,
Before cranking out code let's put on the table what the *best* approach /
solution might be to solve this issue... .
Then someone can go away and work out a little POC or something... .
Makes sense?

> Key: STS-751
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-751
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tag Library
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5
> Environment: No specific OS required; no specific Java version
> required; etc...
> Reporter: Nikolaos
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: stripes-html4-input-0.1.jar, stripes-xhtml-patch.tar.gz,
> stripes-xhtml-patches.tar.gz
>
>
> HTML and XHTML documents have some key differences.
> For example - if we consider the <input> tag:
> - In HTML, the <input> tag has no end tag e.g. <input name="website.url"
> type="text" size="30">
> - In XHTML, the <input> tag must be properly closed, like this <input />
> e.g. <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" />
> Stripes 1.5.x however does not have a mechanism to discern whether or not to
> properly close tags or not and as such takes the safer approach which is to
> explicitly close tags as it results in valid XHTML and is not an error for
> HTML but results in a warning when validating HTML documents. Although the
> latter is not a critical issue it does result in needless or unnecessary
> complaints when validating and as such is an annoyance albeit minor.
> Struts since 1.x has solved this issue quite easily by allowing the inclusion
> of the xhtml="true" attribute to mark that closure is required (false
> indicates no closure). In this manner authors of XHTML and HTML documents
> are equally satisfied in not having any errors or extraneous warnings.
> Timothy Stone had reported this issue and classified it as a bug here:
> http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=11931#action_11931
> The issue was rightly closed as "Not a bug" as most of the discussion was
> based on a non-w3c validator which yielded results that considered the
> validation unsuccessful which is not the case with the w3c validator (not to
> mention that it is irrelevant whether or not XHTML is considered dead or we
> should align to HTML 5 - etc...).
> As such this issue report is a re-statement of the above closed issue
> reported as an improvement and setting the stage for patch to be attached.
