Even if its not added to Struts (and there is a reason not to - it relies on naming conventions FormName.fieldName - which seem reasonable to me, but aren't mandated by Struts), its all yours to use. It makes sense to put it in some kind of sandbox or "goodies"/contrib area of the Struts codebase though.


Also, just a query, Does your tag extend MessageTag ?
Is it a good idea to do that ?


No, it doesn't. See here:


http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/struts/ struts-resume/src/web/org/appfuse/webapp/taglib/ LabelTag.java?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain

I personally do not find it worthwhile to extends Struts tags. They are not designed as I would have designed them (subclassses not exposing some parent class attributes in the TLD is *bad* IMHO) and the attributes on the MessageTag are not needed for my label tag. All I need is key, nothing else.
