Thanks Matt, but I think my problem is that I'm using Struts 1.1 (and can't change it)
According to: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-bean.html#define You can't re-define in 1.1. There must be a workaround?

Here may be a non-jstl workaround you can try: <bean:define id="lastClientName"> <bean:write name="widget" property="clientName" /> <bean:define> Matt Janice wrote: > Unfortunately, I need to get all kinds of approval to use JSTL, is > there no Struts tag that will do this? > > TIA, > J > > -----Original Message----- > From: atta-ur rehman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 5:04 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: Need an alternative to bean:define > > > Is JSTL an option?
