I mean, what's wrong with OGNL other than that list! :) Yeah, I think I
have suffered through it so long that I am numb to the idiosyncracies.
Actually, I hate the entire struts custom tag library and prefer JSTL.
You're right, the StrutsRequestWrapper makes either expression language fair
game. Now if we can just figure out how to explain that ${} inside
struts.xml.
P.S. You seem like a real sharp guy -- now go buy my book.
Peace,
Scott
