2.1 and tooltips

[Musachy Barroso <mu...@gmail.com>]

I'm replacing tooltips in core 2.1 with domTT, but I find the whole tooltip
configuration a little bit "weird". It needs to be configured at the form
that contains the fields with the information icons, with something like
(from example.jsp):

<s:form action="exampleSubmit"
tooltipConfig="%{'jsTooltipEnabled':'true'}">

my OGNL is not very good, but did "%{'jsTooltipEnabled':'true'}" ever
created a map? Anyway, it doesn create it now. #{'jsTooltipEnabled':'true'}
is out of the question with jsp 2.1 and
"%{@java.util.HashMap@{'jsTooltipEnabled':'true'}"
doesn't feel right. I'd propose that we configure tooltips on head.

<s:head jsTooltips="true" tooltipDelay="5000" tooltipEffect="fade" ... />

Using domTT we can attach tooltips to any element, which has been requested
a few times and could be done with little effort. What do you think?

2nd thoughts on this. Tooltips are configured on each element that uses
them, so the head thing is not a good idea. I still think that we should
split the "tooltipConfig" attribute into 2 or 3 simple attributes, instead
of asking users to create a map for them. "tooltipConfig"  will still work
but would be deprecated for 2.1.
