Is there a way to truncate outputText and specify the size you want from a jsp page?
I have an object with a long description property. When it's listed in a dataTable I want to truncate the description column to X characters. Where X can be specified for that column. I know I can add a getTruncatedDescription() method to the object but I think a more general facility would be really useful. Does anybody have a way or doing this with current tags? Is this something that could be done with a converter? Is this something that could be added to <t:outputText> ?
