Cutom Tag request

[Aapo Laakkonen <aa...@projectcast.com>]

<html:label/> tag would be nice. What others think? Here is some uses:

<html:form action="someAction">
    <html:label property="someProperty"/>
</html:form>

<html:form action="someAction">
    <html:label key="someKey"/>
</html:form>

It just prints string values like <bean:write> tag but does not require name
attribute and cannot be used and associated with form. It also could have
<bean:message> functionality. I know that this isn't a big issue, but
sometimes
you want to display something in form that is not editable (e.g. Primary
Key).
I know that I can use <html:text readonly="true"> for most cases, but
<html:label> tag could give you more flexibility.

I'd like something like <html:shown>. It should work like
<html:hidden> but it should also display the text.

Sometimes I use <html:hidden> and <bean:write> together to
display some property. When the user then submits the form
(in request scope) and the validate() method refuses the input,
there is no other way to get the data for the properties
used in <bean:write> since no action is performed. So I use
<html:hidden> to get the values along with user's input.

Of course I meant:

attribute and can be used and associated with form.
