Hi everybody, I just subscribed the list, so please excuse me if what I'm writing has already been discussed. Using struts, I felt the need for a "bean:write"-like tag that could display not only properties but the result of any method call (with its parameters and all). Where 'bean:write' would allow : <bean:write name="user" property="fullName"/> instead of <%=myUserBean.getFullName()%> ,the 'bean:write'-like tag would allow : <bean:writeMethod name="user" method="isSameAge(user2)"/> or <bean:writeMethod name="user" method="isAge(42)"/> instead of <%=myUserBean.isSameAge(myOtherUserBean)%> or <%=myUserBean.isAge(42)%>
Thus, I made a very simple version of such a tag where you can give as parameter : struts-beans (=belonging to one of the 'scope' collections), strings and numbers. My question is : do you plan to have such a tag in a future release ? Do you already have it ? Or is the method call idea just not what beans are for ? Thanks for your answer(s). David
