Can somebody tell me which is the best way to do this?
Oh boy :)
There was a long discussion not so long ago about
the problems with extending the tags (not limited
to the Struts tags, btw) on this list.
If you do want to extend a tag, try to use the nightly source distribution. It has been refactored some to improve this situation.
You're stuck with copy-and-pasteing TextTag.doStartTag() into your new tag, then sprinkling your modifications in there.
