New custom tag to print LabelValueBean label

           Summary: New custom tag to print LabelValueBean label
           Product: Struts
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Custom Tags
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: shl@vlinkmail.com


In some cases I need to show a form bean on a JSP without any <html:form ..> 
and <html:select ..> + <html:optionsCollection ..> batch (for example 
transaction approving, data printing in reports, etc), for that purposes I can 
use code like the following:

    <c:forEach var="it" items="{applicaitonScope.countryArr}">
        <c:if test="${it.value==addr.countryId}"><c:out 
value='${it.label}' /></c:if>
    </c:forEach>

But it is clearer to use a custom tag for this purpose:

<websms:lvref bean="addr" property="countryId" items="countryArr" 
itemsScope="application"  />

I think that a custom tag with described functionality should be a part of 
Struts release.

In addition, I think that implementing this enchancement request and 10552 
introduce some kind of new Struts entities, I call them "form constants".

I have an implemetation of that custom tag (lvref -- LabelValueReferenceTag), 
if someone decide that he need it, I am ready to share it, with examples and 
docs.

PS And sorry for English :)
