All,

Is this the latest wisdom for accessing action properties from JSPs
using EL?

https://struts.apache.org/docs/access-to-valuestack-from-jsps.html

So if my action has a "public String getItems)" method, I'd like to do
something as close as possible to this:

<c:forEach var="item" items="$action.items">
</c:forEach>

It looks like I can do this very quickly:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:set var="action" value="items" />
<c:forEach var="item" value="${items}">
...
</c:forEach>

Is there something I can do to bind "action" to the actual action
instance?

Or I can use the Struts 2 "iterate" tag:

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:iterator var="item" value="items">
</s:iterator>

I realize that this is a simple example, but is there a recommended
technique, here? EL gives me the ability to do things like print
values with somewhat less code: "${fn:escapeXml(foo)}" versus
<s:property escapeHtml="true" value="foo" />

In general, EL seems to be more universally understood, while the s2
tags are a bit more specialized.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

(After writing all of the above and experimenting, I've found that I
can reference ${items} in my JSP without doing anything with the
Struts2 tags: no <s:set> required. How is that working? Does S2 export
all my beans from the action (and other places?) to the request
attributes?).

Thanks,
- -chris
