The <bean:write> tag already supports DynaBeans, <logic:iterate> works great for looping through data structures, and so on. A trivial example similar to the XML document listed in the page you referenced (assuming a collection of "books" that is either JavaBeans or DynaBeans): <%@ page contentType="text/xml" %> <%@ taglib prefix="bean" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/bean"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="logic" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/logic"; %> <books> <logic:iterate id="book" name="books"> <book isbn='<bean:write name="book" property="isbn"/>'> <title><bean:write name="book" property="title"/></title> <quantity><bean:write name="book" property="quantity"/></quantity> <price><bean:write name="book" property="price"/></price> </book> </logic:iterate> </books> Of course, you can do the same thing with JSTL tags if you've got standard JavaBeans as the backing data. > Ollie Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
