Has anyone considered a feature which toggles between an editable form
element and read only text / static text.
I find myself developing JSPs where depending on the Use Case "fieldA"
could be an editalbe text box (<input name="fieldA" value="My Text Value"
/>) in Use Case 1 on xyz.jsp and readonly text /static text in Use Case 2
(My Text Value) on the same jsp. Presently I am using the
<logic:equal></logic:equal> tags. Which get really messy. Here is some
sample code.
<logic:equals name="actionForm" property="myFieldEditable" value="true">
<html:text name="actionForm" property"myField" />
</logic:equal>
<logic:equals name="actionForm" property="myFieldEditable" value="false">
<bean:write name="actionForm" property"myField" />
</logic:equal>
It would be nice to add an attribute to the current tag libraries, which is
a boolean, and does this toggling for you. Here is what I am envisioning
If actionForm.myField = "My Text Value"; This tag <html:text
name="actionForm" property"myField" readOnlyText="true"/> would output "My
Text Value".
Where <html:text name="actionForm" property"myField" readOnlyText="false"/>
the following tag would output
<input name="fieldA" value="My Text Value" />
As you can imagine this would not be a huge undertaking to add this feature
to the current tag libraries in struts. I could use this feature, and I am
sure other could too. I am willing to contribute my time to the development
effort. I am not stuck on the attribute name "readOnlyText", and would
welcome suggestions. Does this sound like a good idea, and if the answer is
yes, what is the next step.
