Alun, I have the same issue, but currently Struts does not support this feature, and I don't know if they will. I might get blasted for the next few statements, but I have seen some people extend the the struts custom tag to do the same thing you are indicating. I am not saying it is the best way to go.
For example you have the Struts class called org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag. I have seen an implmentation where the a developer created new tag library called MyTextTag where it extended the the Strut org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag class, and added a boolean parameter called editable. If this editable parameter was set to true the the doStartTag() method would call super.doStartTag(), and if it was false it would print the value. I don't know if this is the best way togo, but it is one option for you.

I have no problems using the one page for edit and add functionality (and a single action as well) as these both require input fields. The issue with view is that I don't want input fields, I only want labels/text but I want to display the same information that would be displayed on an edit page. It seems that I have a lot of duplication having one jsp with bean:write fields for the view and another with the same fields but inside html:form and html:input tags for the edit functionality. I thought maybe it would be possible using a custom tag library that can dynamically modify the jsp based on a request parameter. Any other thoughts?
