On a somewhat related note, do you even know how many hours I spent creating those taglib tests? ;)

My condolences :-( I now see your rock and hard spot.
It's not about bleeding edge though. Of course, what counts in that regard is your clients' opinion of what bleeding edge is.
Best of luck!

I should point out that it isn't my company that has the restrictions. My
employer would quite happily move to the bleeding edge of any technology if
there were any benefit to do so. In this case the client has very definite
parameters we need to work within. Their servers are set up in a certain
way and they have standards that must be followed or else we don't get paid.
I don't have to agree with their standards in order to take their money. ;)
Thanks for the input all the same.

I would question anyone who told me I had to use something that is going away in the future (most of Struts' taglibs), instead of using a standard technology (the JSTL).
Are they fully-aware of the decision they're making? Are you running within
a container that supports Servlet Specification 2.3 and JSP Specification 1.2?
I can't conceive of anyone being so narrow-minded. If I told my boss I
wanted to use the JSTL over Struts' taglibs (a conversation that would never
take place because I'm able to do whatever I feel is best), citing that the
JSTL was a standard technology and that the Struts taglibs would be going
away, he'd thank me for the FYI and tell me to do what I felt was best.
We're very into using standards-compliant methodologies where it makes sense
to do so though.
