<html:radio>: Make value optional when idName is present

           Summary: <html:radio>: Make value optional when idName is present
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1RC2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Stefan.Kuehnel@frontis.com


I want to render an array of values one of which should be selected via a
<html:radio>.  The value that should be sent to the server is the index in the
array. This doesn't work easily as idName is supposed to be a bean, with the
value attribute providing the property name. The code as it stands would already
work except for the fact that value is marked as required in the TLD. Making it
so only when idName is not present would support my use case.

The workaround is to use a primitive scriptlet to render the value, but aren't
tags supposed to eliminate that need? :-)

<logic:iterate id="label" indexId="serverValue" name="labelsArray">
  <html:radio property="currentValue" idName="serverValue" />
  <bean:write name="label" />
</logic:iterate>

This is report against 1.1RC2, but the problem is still there in 1.1 final. 
Congratulations to that, BTW!
