Yes, outside of Struts tags. No that is JSP EL (Expression Language), which is different from OGNL, however you can get values from the OGNL stack using EL like in my example. There are at least a couple of links in the documentation to OGNL. I would check that first, as to EL there are tons of links on the net, just Google it.

So, in general, is this an alternative way to reference these properties? Where can I find out more about the ${...} syntax? You said "EL" in your reply. So, is this standard JSP EL or is it OGNL? Are they different, or is "EL" in Struts actually OGNL?
