ADF/Struts Generated tag code variations? Struts html:text vs Html input

Question

Hi,
JDev 10.1.2.1
ADF/Struts
I noticed that the JDev IDE generates different code for a same component/binding combination.
Example:Data Control of type Input form with same VO selection.
Generated code for 1 field:
case 1)
JSP code:
<tr>
<td>
<c:out value="${bindings['TitleLang1'].label}"/>
</td>
<td>
<html:text property="TitleLang1"/>
</td>
</tr>
HTML output:
<tr>
<td>
Short Title Language 1
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="TitleLang1" value="Preliminary Demo">
</td>
</tr>
case 2)
JSP code:
<tr>
<td>
<c:out value="${bindings['TitleLang1'].label}"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="<c:out value='${bindings.TitleLang1.path}'/>" value="<c:out value='${bindings.TitleLang1}'/>"/>
</td>
</tr>
HTML output:
<tr>
<td>
Short Title Language 1
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="VB_TitleLang1" value="Preliminary Demo"/>
</td>
</tr>
Case 1 generated code is obvious to me, the html name of the field equals the field binding id.
In Case 2, the VB_ prefix is added and the binding variable references bindings.fieldName.path?
Could someone explain me the second flavor?
When should we use the path reference and replace the Struts html:text tag with html input tag?
Thanks
Fred

I dont think you can mix static values and rt expressions together in attribute values.
String onBlurString = "dontLeaveItEmpty(this);referenceEntered(" + recordNumber + ")" ;
html:text styleClass="textFieldInTable" name="refrences" property="referenceName" onblur="<%=onBlurString%>" />cheers,
