This is likely to be an artifact that the expression language syntax used by <html:text> and friends, inherited from Commons BeanUtils, preceeded the existence of the expression language used in JSTL by a couple of years. JSTL's (and JSF's ... uses the same evaluation engine) expression languages are much more powerful and complete. > Rick Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
