Shawn, Thanks..I guess the XML manipulation tags in JSTL would do number (2). by (1) I meant a was suppose I have a set of pages and my travel sequence is page1(http)-page2(http)-page3(https)-page4(https)-page5(http). where page4 and page5 are secure and rest are in non-secure mode.So at page2 i need to switch my url from http://www.aaa.com to https://www.aaa.com and at page4 i need to switch my url from https://www.aaa.com back to http://www.aaa.com. One way of doing this is hardcode the full url in the action part of the form inside my jsp. that works fine for a single environment. but in ourcase we have 3 environments...development, acpt and prod . All of them have different uRL, so hardcoding is out of question.Also sometimes the secure and non-secure URl are registered as different domains like non-secure as http://www.aaa.com and secured url as https://secure.aaa.com. Add to this the port number used in the lower environments(acpt and development) are not standard ports like (80,443) but could be 8000 and 8443 for http and https respectively.To solve this we need some kind of tag that reads from some property file the secure non-secure mapping and prevents us from changing the jsp for every deployment. Hope this explains the problem.this might be trivial but good to have though. Girish

Date: Mon, 6 May 2002 14:36:21 -0400 (EDT) I'm not clear from your explanation what you mean by (1), but JSTL 1.0 has a rich set of tags to support (2) (inspired by the XTags library in Jakarta Taglibs). -- Shawn Bayern "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) On Mon, 6 May 2002, Girish Patil wrote: > Hi All, > I would like to know if we have tags available to do the following > > 1.nonSSl-to-SSl switch. > 2.Tag to take an xpath expression and a node and return the value. > > 1.I guess many of us have the requirement that a certain portion of the site > should be secured versus the rest.
