I think JSTL EL validator rule should move into Struts proper and requiredif and validatewhen should be deprecated or moved into the contrib folder.
I am happy to commit the JSTL EL validator rule to contrib. What does this entail on my part?

I agree that a JSTL EL expression makes sense. ** Excellent For now struts 1.X is still JSP 1.1 based: 1) Assuming the other committers agree, and I like what I see, add the tag to the contrib folder. ** Excellent. What (if anything) do I do to contribute this to the contrib. folder? ** I think it should move into Struts proper and requiredif and validatewhen should be deprecated. If this tag targets JSP 2.0 then it would need to go into it's own folder. ** It does not target JSP 2.0. It targets JSP 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0. It should work without problem on all three versions of JSP. 2) Donate the tag to the struts.sf.net site. ** This is my first time getting involved with Struts. What would this entail? Any action on my part? Is it time for me to RTFM? If so send me in the right direction. <speculation> At some point Struts 1.5.X, wildly pulling number out of air, or so --may-- go to 1.2/2.3 specs. I believe this because there is now talk of basing Struts 2.X on JSP 2.0. This spec is even further way from general adoption than 1.2/2.3, so I believe it would be better to start the move in the 1.5 time frame. ** This should be a non-issue with this validation rule as it will work in JSP 1.1, 1.2 or 2.0 without problem. OR... Do abopt JSP 1.2/2.3 in the Struts 2.X series and JSP 2.0 in Struts 3.X series. </speculation> -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
