  + The Struts-EL tag library is a contributed library in
  + the Struts distribution.  It represents an integration of the Struts
  + tag library with the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library, or at
  + least the "expression evaluation" engine that is used by the JSTL.
  +
  +
  + The base Struts tag library contains tags which rely on the evaluation
  + of "rtexprvalue"s (runtime scriptlet expressions) to evaluate dynamic
  + attribute values.  For instance, to print a message from a properties
  + file based on a resource key, you would use the
  + bean:write tag, perhaps like this:
  + 
  +  
  +
  +
  + This assumes that stringvar exists as a JSP scripting
  + variable.  If you're using the Struts-EL library, the
  + reference looks very similar, but slightly different, like this:
  + 
  +
+ + + If you want to know how to properly use the Struts-EL + tag library, there are two important things you need to know: + + The Struts tag library + The JavaServer Pages Standard tag library + + + + Once you understand how to use these two, consider Struts tag + attribute values being evaluated the same way the JSTL tag attribute + values are. Past that, there is very little else you need to know to + effectively use the Struts-EL tag library. + + + Although the Struts-EL tag library is a direct "port" + of the tags from the Struts tag library, not all of the tags in the + Struts tag library were implemented in the Struts-EL + tag library. This was the case if it was clear that the functionality + of a particular Struts tag could be entirely fulfilled by a tag in the + JSTL. It is assumed that developers will want to use the + Struts-EL tag library along with the JSTL, so it is + reasonable to assume that they will use tags from the JSTL if they + fill their needs. + Next: Building Controller Components @@ -686,7 +736,3 @@ - - - - 1.11 +12 -2 jakarta-struts/doc/userGuide/preface.xml Index: preface.xml === RCS file: /home/cvs/jakarta-struts/doc/userGuide/preface.xml,v retrieving revision 1.10 retrieving revision 1.11 diff -u -r1.10 -r1.11 --- preface.xml 29 Oct 2002 05:32:26 - 1.10 +++ preface.xml 2 Nov 2002 05:40:18 - 1.11 @@ -541,10 +541,20 @@ in the Java Web Services Tutorial.
