Struts also offers tags for iteration and logic control, as well as html rendering (populating the value with properties of a named bean), and lots, lots more.
I've been intrigued to see the similarities between these and the JSTL. Of course, the JRun tags have been around longer but as has been noted, much of their capability has been recognized and adopted in a more standard manner. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: Haseltine, Celeste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 6:08 PM To: JRun-Talk Subject: RE: input tags : html or jrun tags? Matthew, Is the JSP Standard Tag Library on the Jakarta site that close to being "finalized" for a first release? Don't get me wrong, I've used other tag libraries on the Jakarta site, but I've been burned before when using tag libraries that are still in beta release. Do you know when they expect to do a first "official" release of the JSTL?

I would suggest using the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL). It is almost ready for release and will probably become the standard. It runs on JRun as well as any J2EE server. JSTL provides a core set of custom tags for use in JSPs. It includes tags to access databases, manipulate XML documents, and provide internationalization in JSPs, plus lots of other tags. The LiveSoftware -> Allaire -> Macromedia engineer who wrote the JRun tag library has been working on the JSTL in addition to the Neo tags. In fact, there are a lot of similarities in the libraries.

So far, I've created my forms using html, now that I've discovered jrun tags, I was wondering if any of you can tell me from experience which is better to use and why. The benefit I see for using jrun tags would be easy validation check. The disadvantage would be making the code less portable to another web server (which is not an issue for us at the moment). What would you guys recommend? Thanks, Zeina ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
