I am curious about how the nested taglib fits into this discussion. I have been using the nested tags for just about all my forms and logic tags. Do JSTL tags have the capability as nested tags?
Thanks "David Graham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 11/20/2002 01:37:27 PM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: JSTL Question (EL vs. RT + Struts) You should use the JSTL EL library because of the expression language's power. These tags replace most of the logic and bean tags from Struts. On my projects I only use the struts html taglib and the rest is handled with jstl. The constants in JSP issue is tricky and I haven't solved it myself.
