Hi,

I keep needing to put the JSON equivalent of an expression into a JSP page to 
be used by client side javascript.
This is done during the evaluation of the JSP, it's not AJAX.

At the moment I'm doing it by creating a special "get" method on the action, 
but that's not nice - the action shouldn't need to know that I want the 
representation in JSON.

I've started looking at creating an alternative tag to do the job, but it would 
be pretty much a complete copy of the property tag, but with an additional 
"escape"-type property to specify that the result should be JSON.
It's slightly more complicated than that because the normal escapes should be 
applied afterwards too.

Question: Is this something that should be implemented in the base property tag 
as an enhancement to struts itself, or should I just copy the property tag and 
get on with my life?

Thanks
Jim
