You can use EL outside of Struts tags. Try <jsp:param name="title" value="${pageTitle}" />.
Properties in an action will be at the top of the stack.

Here's a very simple template that pulls in an include that provides the <head>...</head> content for the page. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> <jsp:include page="/include/head.jsp" flush="true"> <jsp:param name="title" value="<s:property value="pageTitle"/>" /> <jsp:param name="companyName" value="<s:property value="companyName"/>" /> </jsp:include> <body> </body> </html> I have an action that sets the values of pageTitle and companyName and I've verified that they have values. My problem is I don't know how to co rrectly pass the pageTitle and companyName values set in my action (and retrievable only through OGNL, AFAIK) to the include via the standard <jsp:param> tag. What is above doesn't work because of the double quotes. So, here are my questions... 1) Is there a way to quote the contents of the <s:property> tag so that I can pass it successfully to the include? 2) Do I have to put the value of <s:property value="pageTitle"> (for example) into a local JSP variable just to pass it to the include? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Wes This email and any attachments ("Message") may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
