If you're referring to what I think you are, I would unfortunately agree.  I
started down this path when I started thinking about Struts-EL, when I
thought about how I could "replace" the "name/property" system with pure EL
references.  I discovered that the JSTL support library allowed me to
evaluate expressions in a "context" which I could somewhat define.  However,
I ultimately concluded that this was impractical, and the best thing that
Struts-EL could do was simply to evaluate individual attribute values
through the EL engine, and not modify the semantics of the underlying tag.
