Funny you asked, I had the same question.. this is from the Taglibs mailing list

Why would one pick one > approach over another? -Tim My impression is that Struts will eventually accommodate the standard taglib (JSTL) and integrate well with it. The other taglibs in Jakarta Taglibs are essentially just separate offerings from Struts, attempting to address different needs (or similar needs from a different perspective). -- Shawn Bayern Author, "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) ----------- This also: Struts contains several different tag libraries. Some, like the 'logic' taglib, will most likely be deprecated at some point, in favour of JSTL. Others, such as the 'html' taglib, integrate more tightly with the Struts framework, reducing the amount of work you have to do to hook your JSP pages up to your ActionForm and Action instances. If you're using Struts as your application framework, then it definitely makes sense to use the Struts 'html' taglib. It also makes sense to look at using JSTL for the less Struts related pieces of your pages. The two should work together without problems. -- Martin Cooper -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Tom Kochanowicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 12:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Need Help w/ MVC and Database Question #2 Many thanks to those who responded to my question. I have a second question along the same line (kind of). What is the difference between "struts" and "jstl" (java standard tag library)? Is struts designed specifically for the MVC architecture where jstl isn't ?
