Re: Struts EL status

[Ted Husted]

As a longtime Struts Committer, I can tell you that it *is* part of the 
main development tract. As Joe mentioned, the only reason it doesn't 
ship with the other taglibs is because it requires a 2.3/1.2 container.

When a 2.3/1.2 container is in play, I do tell my own clients to prefer 
Struts EL to the conventional HTML taglib, and to prefer JSTL to the 
other Struts taglibs, when convenient. (OT: I also advice people to 
create their own JSP taglibs as needed, especially when doing so reduces 
the number of tags on a page.)

Of course, some teams are comfortable with the conventional tags and may 
choose to stay the course. As long as the Community is using the 
conventional taglibs, I'm sure they will remain available.

But, if this is a "duty now for the future" question, the answer is JSTL 
and Struts EL.

HTH, Ted.

Hi all,
	My boss doesn't want to use Struts EL because as he puts it "it's not part of 
the main development and we can't tell where it might go". Can anyone clarify 
when and if it is going to take over ? everyone seems to be using it and I've 
used it in two projects (which didn't make my boss happy!)
