form:options tag does not support i18n [SPR-2659]

[spring-projects-issues]

Vaibhav S. Puranik opened SPR-2659 and commented

Currently form:options tag does not support internationalization. There is no way to resolve lables using key. We can support internationalization by many ways. I am describing some ways people have mentioned on forums: (http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=28342)

<form:select path="selected" items="${command.available}" resolveLabels="true"/>

<form:select path="orderBy">
<form:options items="validOrderBy" var="value">
<spring:message code="orderBy.${value}"/>
</form:options>
</form:select>

I18N support for the entire form tag library is going to be addressed in 2.1 RC1.

Also don't forget the same for <form:radioButtons>, but I guess this kind of code would be shared…

Maybe a default i18n key could be generated for enums, extending #8072.
