Using Struts 2.1.8
I am having a problem inserting an attribute from the session into the value of a struts2 submit tag. I am trying to convert some struts1 tags to struts2. I converted the form tag to struts2 and can use a struts1 submit tag inside the struts2 form. The struts1 submit tag uses an attribute from the session. However, when I try to insert an attribute from the session into the value attribute of the struts2 submit tag it doesn't work. The value of the session attribute SALES_RATES_SERVICE_TYPE is "Test".
