Friend of mine threw together this filter that exposes methods on the ValueStack (hence your action) to the JSTL expression language. Now I can finally do a:
<c:out value="${name}"/> and have it hit the getName() method in my action. Very cool. Just take the class below and add it as a filter. Use filter mapping of *.action, or whatever your WebWork servlet is mapped to. <filter-mapping> <filter-name>JSTLFilter</filter-name> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> </filter-mapping> jim import webwork.util.ValueStack; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import java.io.IOException; public class JSTLFilter implements javax.servlet.Filter { FilterConfig _filterConfig; public FilterConfig getFilterConfig() { return _filterConfig; } public void setFilterConfig(FilterConfig filterConfig) { _filterConfig = filterConfig; } public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException { } public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException { // Make sure it is an HttpServletRequest, if so, create the wrapper and pass it on if (request instanceof HttpServletRequest) { ServletRequest wrappedRequest = new JSTLRequestWrapper((HttpServletRequest)request); chain.doFilter(wrappedRequest, response); } else { // Otherwise, just pass the request on down the chain chain.doFilter(request, response); } } public void destroy() { } } class JSTLRequestWrapper extends HttpServletRequestWrapper{ private ServletRequest wrappedRequest; public JSTLRequestWrapper(HttpServletRequest request) { super(request); wrappedRequest = request; } public Object getAttribute(String s) { Object attr = super.getAttribute(s); if (null != attr) { return attr; } else { // If not found, then try the ValueStack ValueStack stack = ValueStack.getStack(wrappedRequest); if (null == stack) return null; else return stack.findValue(s); } } } ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
