Are people actively doing things with the JSTL / Struts combination? The first JSTL tag I attempted to use was the <c:set>. I attempted to use it with a <nested:write> body but when I ran the page I got a null pointer exception. The only workaround I could find was to re-write the c:set as a very simple tag.
As you can see from the attached I have also modified some of the struts tags so I assumed someone would assume I botched them. In this trace I have modified NestedWriteTag (the only change was to make it a subclass of my WriteTag, which I have heavily modified) but that has not been executed. Thanks for your help.
