In general, we are advising people to use JSTL tags wherever they serve a purpose that overlaps with Struts tags. It sounds like <c:if> and similar tags would probably serve most of your logic test needs. As for verifying the presence of a request attribute, it seems that the Jakarta Taglibs "request" taglib has a tag which can do that.

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/request-doc/request-1.0/index.html#reference

Struts tags that have a guaranteed future would be those that encode knowledge about things that Struts does uniquely -- for example, the "logic:messagesPresent" tag and the "html:messages" tag. Tags that do something which could be used in any JSP application, whether or not Struts is the controller, don't have many champions. We recommend that those be developed in a way which makes their independence from Struts more clear.

Like I said this is only add-ons

For example in the tiles I need to develop for my own purpose a tag that
verify if an attribute was set or not during the call of the tile.

It has the same behavior as the logic:present tag but focus on the tiles.

I also need to develop some add-ons for the bean:message for being flexible
with arguments coming from beans or the logic:redirect

Even some times I need to compare two beans with the logic tags.

 Depends -- what do you have in mind?

 Going forward, I think we would only want to add tags that are
 specifically focused around Struts functionality.  Tags that don't
 depend on Struts don't really belong in the Struts project -- some
 might fit into existing Jakarta Taglibs projects, or might be
 proposed as new subprojects there, and others might make good
 projects on their own, like the displaytag libraries.

 What do your tag libraries do?
