Jakarta Taglibs - Request Tag Libary Question

["Jones, Marty B." <ma...@dailyaccess.com>]

I just got started using tag libaries and I think that they are pretty neat.
I downloaded the Request Tag Library to use in an existing web application
and I noticed that the Request Attribute tag "attribute" does not allow for
a default value.  I think that adding a attribute to this tag would be a
good idea.  That being said, I downloaded the source for the Request
Attribute and Request Parameter tags and modified them to incorporate a
default value.  They work like a charm.  I am new to the apache contribution
process and I was wondering, are the changes that I made worth adding to the
taglib project itself?

Well, the Request Taglib is somewhat superceded by the JSP Standard Tag
Library (which does offer default values in the standard <c:out> tag),
unless you're using a JSP 1.1 container.
