Greetings, I was curious if what (if any) particular reason there is that BaseHanderTag doesn't define getName() and getProperty(), which seemingly most form tags need. The scenario that's prompted this question is an tag extension scenario. In a particular instance I want to set the value of the "styleId" attr to a default value, but can't do so using code like this:
((BaseFieldTag)tag).setStyleId((BaseFieldTag)tag).getProperty()) because tags like CheckboxTag and RadioTag don't extend BaseFieldTag, but BaseHandlerTag. Likewise if I cast them to BaseHandlerTag, the getProperty() is unavailable. The code above is invoked in a utility before the Struts Tag is rendered, somewhat like a decorator. Just another general question is why the split between tags that extend BaseFieldTag, and BaseHandlerTag. Why don't they just all extend BaseFieldTag? Thanks! Mike (P.S.) If there is some general concensus on any changes, I'm willing to make them and submit patches myself, just wanted to get general impressions first. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
