To continue, the first one (probably; I'm still a little fuzzy on OGNL sometimes) works because if a property isn't found in the action it will continue looking on the stack until it finds it or runs out.
Now, as to why #2 "doesn't work", I'm a little hazier on that: perhaps when OGNL has an expression tree it does lookup a bit differently or something? d. --- Musachy Barroso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > in OGNL there is always an object that is the > "root", so %{name} is > actually calling root.getName().
