not just a
portion, so your examples like "header-<%=countryCode%>" can't work like
that.  If you still wanted to use rtexprvalues, you'd have to use
something like '<% "header-" + countryCode %>'.

... he means <%= "header=" + countryCode %> :-)

A cleaner solution is probably to use the JSTL and Struts-EL.
Referencing bean values in the EL is much easier than referencing
rtexprvalues.  For some simple examples in your case:

  <html-el:form action="action-${countryCode}.do">

  <html-el:option value="${x.y}">

  <html-el:img src="img/${regionCode}/picture.gif">

Struts-EL is normally in the Struts nightly build, but the last few days
we've had an unknown problem that is preventing it from going into the
distribution.

I had to change some things in the struts-el build file to get it to build, but, even after I got that going, it still didn't place a copy of struts-el.jar into ${struts.home}/target/library. Was that the intent?
