Good idea but how will multi-dimensional arrays be populated? Simon

I think it's very appropiate (very common idea even for non-programmers, easy to implement). By example (my case): I want to make a calendar and would like to make it very generical. If I could use associations with taglibs, I'd make something that gives me dates (or months, weeks, and days), and another bean associating days to properties. It helps mantaining the calendar code independent from the "properties" code. And properties could be associations too: 'holiday' -> boolean 'holidayname' -> name 'itemscount' -> int and so on. The JSP would poduce HTML for the calendar, but guided by the properties of each day (holidays in red, days with items with a link, etc.) At 09:25 02/06/2004 -0400, you wrote: >I think you're right.
