You probably could do that but I'm pretty sure it will not be fast developping. Also I think it is not the right way to do struts. Just do what you have to do in a simple java action and throw your stuff on the request or the session ( if the data needs to live longer then one request ) . Then in your jsp simply use the struts tags to display the data that is on the request. Keep it simple ! Keep your knowledge and action in your java actions, let struts manage the flow through struts-config.xml and use your jsp's to simply display the information that you have retrieved in your actions ! greet, Geert.

That means I don't have to pass in the request to the constructor because I've got the TagSupport methods. Or does this conflict with MVC in a big way?
