Custom Property Tag
I need to show certain fields to certain users based on permissions
(per-user). I was going to create a custom s:property tag, which would
access an IUser object on the value stack. In the tag, it will do:
If (getUser().canAccess('property_name'))
Then
Render the tag/value
Else
Render nothing
I cannot figure out how exactly to get the user object on the value stack,
and which file contains the property tag implementation. Could someone
suggest where to start?
Thanks,
Mike.

Thanks Wes! That's exactly what I needed to get started.

I did something similar, but I used s:if as an example. Rather than
show or not show in a s:property tag-like setup, i felt like s:if did
the job much better. If you want an example, check out
core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/views/jsp/IfTag.java
core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/views/freemarker/tags/IfModel.java
core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/components/If.java
Then, check out the pom.xml file for a clue how to use the annotations
you'll see in there to generate a TLD file for the tag. Also, the
views/freemarker thing isn't necessary, but if you plan to use
Freemarker, you'll have to create a freemarker template manager (which
is pretty simple, check the source of the bean that the
struts-default.xml defines for an example).
