Trying to bring new developers up to speed with OGNL is nearly impossible.
Consider this, you can use ${} in any tag library, unless it's the <s:
struts tags because they use OGNL so you have to use %{}, but you don't
necessarily have to use that for an OGNL expression if you don't want to.
Unless you're in struts.xml, then when you use ${} you're actually using
OGNL not JSTL-EL. Try to teach that to an entry level programmer or a web
developer, it's frustrating and unnecessary.
There's no reason the Struts tags can't safely allow both JSTL-EL and OGNL,
they just have to do the JSTL inside the taglib and not rely on the
container to do the work. I have a tag library that uses this technique and
works fine.
I have the old Manning "Webwork in Action" but I definitely need to get the
new "Struts 2 in Action" since a lot has changed since Webwork.
I'm actually in Northern California.
