Struts2 - Password Tag (Form Tags)

In this section, we are going to describe the password tag. The password tag is a UI tag that renders an HTML input tag of type password.

Add the following code snippet into the struts.xml file.

struts.xml
<action name="passwordTag">
<result>/pages/uiTags/passwordTag.jsp</result> </action>

Create a jsp using the tag <s:password>. It renders an HTML input tag of type password.

passwordTag.jsp
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<html>
  <head>
  <title>Password Tag Example!</title> 
  </head>
  <body>
  <h1><span style="background-color: #FFFFcc">Password Tag Example!
</span></h1>
 <s:form>
 <s:password label="Enter Password" name="password" size="10" maxlength="8" />
  </s:form>
  </body>
</html>
