Hi Ted, sorry to ask for clarification again and it's probably completely obvious but I've overlooked it. How can I specify the link from within a custom tag (since the struts <html:link forward="xyz" /> tag) can only be used within a JSP page and not in the body of doStartTag()/doEndTag()? or can it?
