Iwao AVE! commented on STS-751:
-------------------------------
Nikolaos,
OK, let me try :-)
The jar contains (a) subclasses of some Stripes input tags and (b) TLDs.
(a) override super class' methods to omit the self-closing slash when they are
rendered.
For (b), I have copied the original Stripes' TLDs and replaced class references
of input tags to those of (a).
Note that it still references original non-input Stripes tags.
Now, by changing the TLD reference (the step 2 in my previous comment), all the
Stripes input tags in your JSPs are rendered by the new custom tags (a) which
don't output the self-closing slash.
As you would have only one place to declare the TLD reference, it's quite easy
to try it on an existing webapp (if it uses Stripes 1.5.3 or later).
Further questions or comments are welcome.
I too am looking for the best approach here.
# And the source files are included in the jar which I forgot to mention.
Regards,
Iwao

> 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.
