Have you ever used the nested-tags in Struts-1.1? The advantage is that the value of the "name"-attribute is calculated for you. That way you can write: <s:form name="myForm"> <s:push value="person.address"> <s:textfield name="street"/> </s:push> </s:form> Notice the inner s:textfield is only specifying name="street" which is enough to render name="person.address.street" because it knows it's inside the address-object (s:push). This example is rather simple, but in much more complicated forms, inside iterators for example, where you want to reuse JSPs it is *extremely* useful to avoid code-douplication. Much easier to generate dynamic user-interfaces this way. The philosophy is "as long as I'm inside this nested-context I know I can render this piece of code regardless of the object-hierarchy the object resides in". -- Andreas Joseph Krogh <andr...@officenet.no> Senior Software Developer / CEO ------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ OfficeNet AS | The most difficult thing in the world is to | Karenslyst Allé 11 | know how to do a thing and to watch | PO.
