[Opensource] Expresso InputTag treats Readonly attribute as Hidden (fix included)

[Ken Chow]

The Expresso 5.01/5.02 InputTag treats the Readonly attribute the same as a Hidden attribute.
Is this a bug or was there a reason for this?

I've fixed the problem in InputTag.java as follows:

- changed
                } else if (Input.ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN.equalsIgnoreCase(typeToUse) ||
                           Input.ATTRIBUTE_READONLY.equalsIgnoreCase(typeToUse)) {
                    this.buildHiddenBox(writer);
  to
                } else if (Input.ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN.equalsIgnoreCase(typeToUse)) {
                    this.buildHiddenBox(writer);
                } else if (Input.ATTRIBUTE_READONLY.equalsIgnoreCase(typeToUse)) {
                    this.buildReadonlyBox(writer);

- added
    /**
     * Build a readonly text field
     *
     * @param   writer the Jsp Writer
     * @throws  Exception upon error
     */
    private void buildReadonlyBox(JspWriter writer)
                         throws Exception {
        if (writer == null) {
            throw new Exception("JspWriter was null");
        }

        FastStringBuffer fsb = FastStringBuffer.getInstance();
        try {
            fsb.append("  <input type=\"text\" name=\"");
            fsb.append(nameToUse);
            fsb.append("\" size=\"");
            fsb.append(sizeToUse);
            fsb.append("\" maxlength=\"");
            fsb.append(maxlengthToUse);
            fsb.append("\" value=\"" );
            fsb.append(valueToUse);
            fsb.append("\" readonly>" );

            writer.print(fsb.toString());
        } finally {
            fsb.release();
        }
    } /* buildReadonlyBox(JSPWriter) */
