Well, the problem is, the webwork tags aren't 1-to-1 mappings with JSTL tags. It usually takes several JSTL tags to do what one WebWork tag does. I'd personally never want to use JSTL because it's too verbose and too much work.

If OGNL could just implement a standard API and be a drop-in replacement for JSP EL that would be great, not just for us, but for everyone using JSP who wants a better EL. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=26278&messageID=51894#51894 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
