Re: nesting bean:write inside of html:link

[Brian . Duchouquette]

Actually, struts-bean.tld has a define tag which does the same thing (no
custom eval tag necessary):

<bean:define id="idValue" name="somebean" property="id"/>
<html:link href="somepage.jsp?action=someaction&id=<%= idValue %>" >link
text</html:link>

As a workaround, I wrote an 'eval' tag that captures its content to a
bean.  You can bind the content to a scripting variable and use the
variable.  It's ugly but it works.

So, you'd do this:

<x:eval id='idValue'><bean:write name="somebean" property="id" /></x:eval>
<html:link href="somepage.jsp?action=someaction&id=<%= idValue %>" >link
text</html:link>

The actual implementation of eval is very simple - just a body tag that
captures its content to a String and puts the String into the page context.
