Re: Why no Bean Population tags?

[Bill Siggelkow]

Pratima -- it sounds like you are trying to use a JSP page to write data 
 into the session from someplace other than the form.  You probably 
want to put this code someplace else -- like in an Action (or delegate). 
 It is hard for me to guess without more specific information.

We have bean:write tags that read bean properties and output to the jsp

I am wondering why we are always forced to set bean properties through one
of the form tags.
In many cases where there are a lot of common properites to be set it is
easier to set the bulk of the bean properties through bean tags & only
expose the necessary fields through the html form. This also helps in
cleaner pages where you want to do redirects through a hidden page which
sets values into beans in the session.
I saw the jstl c:set tag but that is not as powerful as the struts bean tags
in terms of dealing with indexed properties. So I have had to write a custom
tag for this. It seems fairly straight forward to do this & hence I am
wondering why the standard struts tag library doesnt contain this.  Im
wondering if this violates some design principle in struts.
