-----------------------------------

I think renaming {{requiredLabel}} to {{mandatory}} is the best option, wdyt?

>
> we are using struts 2.0.5 and 2.3.4.1 in our applications. And we decided to migrate to 2.3.15.1 to get the security fixes.
> we use struts tags to render UI components and using 'required' attribute to get the '*' along with the components.
> In the version 2.3.15.1, the attribute required is dropped, and we need to change to requiredLabel to get the same effect, this increases migration&testing effort for a application which has 1000+pages
> Hence we require a backward compatibility for 'required' attribute in struts tags.
> Also nowhere in the migration document this information is specified. This makes the struts migration as block-box. Hence we require a proper migration document which should specify what are all the changes required in the application to migrate the struts.
> But we managed to get the '*' in UI by replacing UIBean.class,AbsctactUITag.class and struts.tld from 2.3.4.1 version.
