Allow <bean:write/> to use any subclass of java.text.Format

           Summary: Allow <bean:write/> to use any subclass of
                    java.text.Format
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sandymac@ufl.edu


It would be really nice and useful, at least to me, if I could create a custom
subclass of java.text.Format and tell <bean:write/> to use this formatter. The
current <bean:write/> really only supports java.text.NumberFormat and
java.text.SimpleDateFormat .

For example I would like to write custom a formatter to deal with String in the
common formats for email address, eg: "John Doe <jo...@domain.tld>" and just
outputs "John Doe".

I imagine something like: <bean:write name="address"
formatter="foo.bar.AddressFormat"/>
