Paul,
I have ideas on how to solve this and have indeed done so for the
html:text tag.
It would be very easy for me to do the same for checkboxes.
I implemented my proposal as suggested on the dev list with the subject
BaseFieldTag. It seems to work fine. I am not sure though if it is the
ideal
solution but would not mind getting some feedback on it.
Michael Westbay seemed to like it.
All that happens is the output of the actual hmtl is delayed until
the doAfterBody method. this allows you to configure the tag at runtime
using nested elements. It blows out the taglibs in the Jsp but it still
better than having any java code there. At the moment it does not
automagically
repopulate either, however this could be achieved.
