http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14150 Allow <bean:write/> to use any subclass of java.text.Format ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-11-04 22:54 ------- I've looked, three times now, at the JSTL and I cannot figure out how to do any of the following tasks: 1) Take an email address in a string in the form: First Last <email@domain> and convert it to: <span title="email@domain">First Last</span> 2) Take a size in bytes and convert it into an abrivated form: 123456 becomes 123K 123456789 becomes 123M 3) Truncate a string line to a certain number of characters: Re: about the graphs on the foo bar report last month from John Doe becomes: <span title="Re: about the graphs on the foo bar report last month from John Doe">Re: about the graphs on the foo bar report la...</span> With my bean:write extension I can write a java.text.Format that does each of the things with a few lings of code and is reusable. My format method for each formatter is rather short: #1 is about 25 lines of commented code, #2 is about 15 lines, and #3 is 10 lines. Also I can reuse the formatter logic between the different jsp pages while it wasn't obivous to me if that is possible with JSTL. I love Struts strongly resists the urge to become bloat ware but I don't think this feature would be classified as bloat. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
