Description
We do a lot of work with content management systems and thus use forms a lot. I would really like to use BeanEditForm as it's got a lot of great features but it has a couple limitations that, at this point, means we won't be able to use it.
The first is that it creates it's own form which limits being able to use it in conjunction with more complicated forms. Perhaps add a boolean 'createForm' parameter which defaults to true and indicates whether or not to render a form. Or better still, detect whether the component is rendering in a form and only create one if there is no outer form. Or both and have the behavior default to the latter.
The second is that I have no control over the rendering of the html around the fields. It would be really useful if there was either an override I contribute to or a parameter to provide a renderer or both. If I had that then I could use beaneditform and know that the structure of the fields and labels would be consistent with the rest of the system.
