The standard advice we are now giving everyone is "use JSTL", which I wholeheartedly agree with and have said myself. However, I think we need to make sure that we still adequately support non-JSTL solutions and continue to consider bug fixes/enhancements to Struts tags EVEN where it would duplicate JSTL functionality because Struts still supports JSP 1.1/Servlet2.2. ************ I don't think fixing non-JSTL tags should take priority. I think deprecated tags like logic:iterate, and their ilk should receive very little attention. BTW I am going to make a concerted effort to contribute to this project. Please excuse me while I am new if I make any snafu. (I have some stuff and ideas in the works. Mostly bug fix type ideas.) I haven't considered whether this particular enhancement would fall into the category of something we should do, it just prompted me to raise the issue. If we've reached the stage where the recommendations we are making *require* JSTL, then I think it's time to be honest about the required platform for Struts and up it to 1.1/2.3 **************** I think Struts 1.2 and higher should *require* JSTL tags, and overlapping Struts tags should be deprecated (aren't they already). If this is not feasible for Struts 1.2, then Struts 1.3 or 1.5 or 1.whatever. Use JSTL instead of Struts-Equivalent Tags Use core:out instead of bean:write Use core:set instead of bean:define Use JSTL core:if and core:forEach instead of Struts logic:* Use frmt tags in place of bean:message (if possible) Use JSTL EL Engine in Your Own Custom Tags I don't know how well the JSTL i18n support plays with the Struts i18n support as I am only familiar with the latter and not the former at least not on a carnal level.
