I'm thinking of coding up a new tag for the html tag set called 'parameter' that could be nested inside the <html:link> tag. Usage of this tag would be like these examples:
<html:link page="/myaction.do" <html:parameter id="param1" name="mybean" property="myproperty"/> <html:parameter id="param2" name="mybean" property="myotherproperty"/> <html:parameter id="param3" value="literal-value"/> </html:link> <html:link> <html:parameter id="wombatId"><foo:wombat/></html:parameter> </html:link> This would give you the ability to append an arbitrary number of parameters to a URL while remaining purely tag based. Also, you can specify the value of the parameter using an application specific custom tag, such as my wombat tag above. Disadvantages are verbosity in the JSP, maintenance of a new tag, and changes to existing code. It would involve modifying the link tag to keep a Map of parameters, and allow the inner tags to add to the map, then build the URL in doEndTag(). Some re-arrangement would be required of RequestUtils.computeParameters(), which is already fairly complicated. RequestUtils.computeParameters() would have to accept the Map as a formal parameter or pull it out of pageContext based on a defined key, if the method signature can'tbe changed. Does this seem worthwhile? Is it contraindicated for some reason? Any thoughts? Thanks, -Chris __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
