It would really be nice :-) to add object orientation to the tld as the
amount of time spent debugging missing / incorrect tld's is larger than
it should be. Also, the ability to specify default values would be nice
as well.
My idea would be something like
<tag>
<name>tagextendingtag</name>
<tagclass>org.apache.struts.taglib.TagExtendingTag</tagclass>
<bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent>
<attribute>
<name>property</name>
<required>false</required>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
<default>mydefault</default>
</attribute>
<includeattibutes>[tldfilename]originaltagname</includeattibutes>
</tag>

Yeah, except that my extension of MessageTag is only temporary, unless
we see a need to support all the other <bean:message> attributes.
Currently we only are using 'key', and thats the only one I exposed in
the TLD.
But certainly it could be made to expose all attributes and would use
them appropriately currently. What a pain it is to cut-and-paste the
TLD stuff though (actually thats why I only exposed the 'key' property -
I use XDoclet to build our TLD from @tags).
