Question

I am trying to figure out how to build a simple custom tag (for learning purposes)
My goal is to build a simple form tag, so when i need to i can use it in the following way #{simpleTag params.. /}.

simpleTag.html

<form name="input" action="${_action}" method="get">
            ${_inputTitle} <input type="text" name="${_varName}" />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

my main issue is – in the above code the action="${_action}" i would like to use the reverse lookup notation instead, Such as action="@{_somthing}" but how can i pass such parameter to tag in play framework?

What if you try something like this:

%{ action = play.mvc.Router.reverse("SomeController.someAction")}%
#{simpleTag action:"${action}"/}
