Apologies, turns out to be an oversight on my account - I accidentally misplaced the struts-plugin.xml file in the META-INF directory, resulting in the TagLibrary not getting registered and in turn resulting in the imports not working. I'll confirm it tomorrow at work for sure, but for now .. Musachy, kick off 2.1.6 ;-) Phil PS: I do still think the import of taglibs isn't working correctly for things other than Struts Tag libraries, but that's another issue that might be caused by Freemarker itself. > > > -- > "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." - > Randy Pausch > > -- "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." - Randy Pausch
