Go with standards - use the JSTL. It's easy, it's standard ... and it keeps you away from scriplets (which are just *evil* I tell you ... *evil*!)
You can get the JSTL at http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs - Select "JSTL" or "Standard" taglib from left (it's toward the top - easy to spot) - You'll find a link to download the JSTL. Click it. - unpack the distribution and copy the required files to your application - Find the link regarding Sun's JSTL site and go there - Bookmark this page - There's a really good refrerence PDF here - you might want to snag a copy - There are (I think) 3 articles which go over using the JSTL here that are useful to get you started - You may be interested in an EL-enabled version of the struts taglibs - Go to http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12365 - Scroll down to the bottom - Click the link that says "created an attachment (id=2954)" - Save it as struts-el.tar.gz - unpack (tar xzf struts-el.tar.gz) - cd struts-el - edit build.properties to fit your environment - mkdir conf/share - ant - cp target/library/struts-el.jar /path/to/your/WEB-INF/lib - cp target/library/struts-*-el.tld /path/to/your/WEB-INF = You're setup for using the JSTL and have EL-enabled Struts tags. Enjoy.
