Hi,

customization, like locking the field, hiding the field etc.. to achieve
this i am planning to extends "struts-tags" tag library functionality. can
any one give any idea of how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave,

          Thanks for reply, let me give more details. i need to apply field
level security to all the form controls. to apply the field customization i
want to extends the custom components provided by struts. for example to
extend i am planning to text field tag *
org.apache.struts2.views.jsp.ui.TextFieldTag*, i want to add a new attribute
to the text field tag.

can you tell me, how i can implement this?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you're asking.

To extend the S2 tags themselves you might need to do any or all of the following, depending on your needs:

* add tag attributes to the component and tag classes
* add additional Java code
* regenerate TLD
* modify FreeMarker templates

Some might be easier to extend than others.
