I found JSTL In Action to be a nice gentle introduction

the book is written for content providers and NOT for
Java developers. So if you

Towards the end, you show a simple calculator implemented as JSP, Struts, Struts-EL,
and JSTL. On page 33, the Struts-EL uses a "helper bean" to do the arithmetic. Th

Thanks Bill. That fixed the errors thing *and* allowed me to stop using the

I believe so . I haven't been brave enough yet to move to tc5 but the
el support is a good reason for me to do so.
I think (haven't tried it) as you're using tc 5 you wont need the el
struts tags as the expressions are evaluated before the tags, working
much the same way as <%= foo.getBar() %>
Thanks Mark.

I've got by using the appendix to struts in action.
its a bit annoying but there seem no elegant way of drilling action
errors but if error is scoped to the request or page then
if you're using tomcat 5 then just
${error} as jsp2 doesn't require the c:out wrappers.
