I’m writing a web application using Spring MVC. Although Spring MVC comes with a couple of tag libraries, they are not rich as Struts’ counterpart. What I miss most is <html:xhtml>.

Those of you using Spring MVC, what third-party tag libraries do you guys use?

Thanks!

Edit: More specifically, I would like to auto-generate the following using a custom tag.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    If all you want to do is generate that fragment, then what’s wrong with <jsp:include>, or a simple tagfile, e.g.

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<jsp:doBody>
</html>

    Stick that in /WEB-INF/tags/xhtml.tag, and you’re done, e.g.

    <%@ taglib prefix="tags" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags" %>

<tags:xhtml>
   // Rest of content in here
</tags:xhtml>
