Disable Auto-complete(autocomplete="off") using STRUTS

i tried to disable auto complete(autocomplete="off") in struts framework,the process i followed is 1)In Strut-html.tld file i had few attributes of TextTag so added autocomplete attribute

<tagclass>org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag</tagclass>
<attribute>
<name>autocomplete</name>
<required>false</required>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>   
</attribute>

2)i wrote a class for customtag by extending org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag

import org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag.*;

public class TextTag extends org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TextTag { 


private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String autocomplete = null;

public String getAutocomplete()
{ return autocomplete; }

public void setAutoComplete(String autocomplete)
{
this.autocomplete = autocomplete; 

} 

protected void prepareOtherAttributes(StringBuffer sb) { 


if (autocomplete != null) { 

sb.append(" autocomplete=\""+autocomplete+"\""); 
}
}
}

3) And in jsp page i added autocomplete="off" attribute

so when i run my application im getting the following error

/index.jsp(1): Error in using tag library uri='/tags/struts-html' prefix='html':
The Tagclass'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag' has no setter method corresponding  
to TLD declared attribute 'name', (JSP 1.1 spec, 5.4.1)  probably occurred due to an 
error in /index.jsp line 1:  
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>

Some one please help me to solve this error and i tried with javascript as well but its not working.

function DisableAutocomplete()
{
var AC_Disable_login=document.forms[0].elements['loginID'];
AC_Disable_login.setAttribute ("autocomplete", "off");
}

I have tried many solutions 1. including the dirty hack given above, 2. setting autocomplete off for form by calling a script at page load:

    <body class="article-page auxillary-page" onload="autocompletion()">
 function autocompletion()
 {
         for (i=0; i<document.forms.length; i++) {
         document.forms[i].setAttribute("AutoComplete","off");
        }
 }

and few others, None of them seems to work.. I think the only solution is: change your tag to html tag, and then in submit function for form assign that value to your required bean property.

you can use 

<input type="password" name="password1" maxlength="4" size="25" readonly onfocus="this.removeAttribute('readonly');" autocomplete="off" />

This worked for me on struts 1 , J7 Eclipse keplar, wildfly server.

There is a quick and dirty hack documented here http://www.coderanch.com/t/54020/Struts/form-input-tags-turning-autocomplete that embeds the autocomplete option inside another form element.

For example 

<html:form method="post\" autocomplete=\"off" action="verify_login.do" >

Struts renders as

<form name="LoginForm" method="post" autocomplete="off" action="verify_login.do">

Its not pretty but it saves the need to redefine Struts taglibs.

You do not need to rewrite Struts 1.x to add this functionality. All you need is to add the following lines:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
    $(function(){
        $(":text").attr("autocomplete", "off");
    });
</script>
