Andrea Vettori commented on WW-2030:
------------------------------------

some simple testing shows that the field value is simply evaluated...

try to put on a struts textfield %{1+1} submit and you'll get "2" on the 
field...

Cool but don't think it should be the default behaviour.

What constructs can trigger recursion ?
