I know i can do 2 define to get the maxRows and startCounter i do it now because there is not other way but it clutters the view and is a bit annoying to constantly define things.
Nested everywhere for every tag where you can define a bean would be so much nicer and the jsp code would be much cleaner to read.. And it is a small modification for BeanUtils (or PropertyUtils) The only thing it needs to do is first check if there is a nested delimiter if so then try to find the first in the specific scope (if any) then do it the "current" way. johan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arron Bates" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 1:19 PM Subject: Re: Nested properties everywhere.... > The tags use direct values or beans themselves to provide values for > offsets and such.
