    Description

      The dojo-specific tags should be removed into their own plugin. This includes simple wrapper tags like the datepicker, but also extensions like the anchor and div tags.

      Subject: [proposal] Tag reorganization
      To: Struts Developers List <dev@struts.apache.org>

      Ok, let's put this into a formal proposal. I propose that we extract
      any Dojo-related tags and behaviors into a new tag library. This new
      library could extend the old tags for the purposes of adding
      Dojo-related attributes, however, it should be its own logical tag
      library. We should keep the old themeable tags, but look to speed up
      the simple theme, probably through a Java rendering engine.

      The new Dojo-based tags will contain:

      • The date picker
      • The rich text editor
      • Any remote div-loading tags
      • Extensions of existing tags to add new Dojo-related attributes and
        rendering. If it isn't possible to extend the existing tags/components
        and add new parameters, then we'll make it so.
      • Dojo. We'll pull all the Dojo files out of core.

      We will be left with the original, themeable tags. These tags will
      still use the theme engines and we'll keep the xhtml theme, but write or
      include a simple tooltip Javascript library to we don't need to import
      all of Dojo. Ideally, I'd like to see the simple tags rendered with
      Java for superior performance, but that part of the proposal can wait.
      These tags will retain as much as backwards compatibility as possible,
      with the exception of the missing Ajax theme. Any ajax functionality
      that used DWR will remain in the old tags and be moved to the xhtml theme.

      I'd like to move on this quickly and have it completed within two weeks.

      Thoughts?

      Don
