Created: (WW-1564) add some url tag features to the a tag

add some url tag features to the a tag
--------------------------------------

                 Key: WW-1564
                 URL: http:/
/issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1564
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Views
            Reporter: Erkki Lindpere
            Priority: Minor


It is cumbersome to use the url tag to create an URL and
then use that URL in the a tag. It would be much better if
an URL could be created directly in the a tag, for example
by providing an action attribute. For our projects, this
would be an often-used feature. If there is need for
parameters, they could be added as nested tags as well. So
basically this tag should inherit all the behavior of the
url tag.

Another option would be to allow the url tag to be nested in
the a tag and leave the href attribute of the a tag
unspecified. So the URL created by the url tag would be set
as the href parameter of the a tag. This would save having
to use a variable for the URL.
