After some reasoning, I must say that I must disagree with James statement.
A very simple example. I need to greet the user in his language.
I will help a message like this in my messages_en.properties:
msg.hello=Hello {0}
And in messages_de.properties
msg.hello=Hallo {0}
Now I have my page, the right locale and the user object. Without EL, how
can I ever right the proper greeting?
The only way today would be:
<bean:define id="username" type="java.lang.String" name="user"
property="userName" toScope="page"/>
<bean:message key="msg.hello" arg0="<%=username%>"/>
Imho the taglib can't be considered complete, as long as there are <%= %> in
the jsp.
It would be so simple to provider the message tag with argXName/argXProperty
similar to name/property attributes it already has and parallel to arg0-arg5
it already has.
<bean:message key="msg.hello" arg0Name="user" arg0Property="userName"/>
Would it hurt someone? I don't think so.
And there are a lot of examples where really simple functionality is missing
in struts tags.
For example compare tags don't allow second bean/property as value.
Other thing. How many struts-tags actually do log? Maybe 20%? Shouldn't it
be unified?
If there are people, who are ready to implement this, why wouldn't you let
them? :-)

Leon
