Speaking of newbie tips, I've been banging my head with struts/JSTL for the past two weeks and discovered this gem today. <c:set var="image" value="${questionForm.image}"/> <jsp:useBean id="image" type="java.lang.String" /> <% if (image.trim().length()>0) { %> ... This lets me grab an object out of a form bean and switch to JSP script mode so that I can use the full force of Java rather than figure out how to do everything with JSTL or struts tags. Bad form I know, but it helps get the job done while I get a grip on using tags at a saner pace.
