Re: Dynamic JSPs and STRUTS
You wouldn't even necessarily need to go the route of Struts to accomplish this - you could store your 100 variations in an XML file and use the JSTL core/xml libraries to dynamically generate your JSPs based on parameters.

RE: Dynamic JSPs and STRUTS
The web app was developed using Struts. This is a new section of the app I am developing. I wanted to continue using Struts libraries/components to construct dynamic JSP pages. Does JSTL integrate nicely with Struts? Or does Struts have similar components that do the same thing? Thanks for your response.

RE: Dynamic JSPs and STRUTS
Yes, JSTL plays very well with struts even though there is a great deal of overlap. I use JSTL exclusively for non-form elements - i.e., pure presentation / output stuff.

Re: Dynamic JSPs and STRUTS
JSTL in particular has a lot of tags for wrangling XML, so if you do pull out your 100 odd differences into an XML file, you'll need JSTL, most likely, to re-construct your JSP. I guess this sorta depends on if you understand XML at all ... if you can think of a way of using XML to pull out the 100 differences into an XML structure that makes sense, then just looking at some online documentation for JSTL should put you well on your way to getting this done. Also, if you use the Struts EL tags, you pretty much are forced to use the JSTL tags as well, since certain Struts tags are not present in the Struts EL taglibs, since they are *precisely* the same (with EL) as the JSTL equivalent. The Struts EL documentation indicates which Struts tags are not present as well as what the equivalent JSTL tag is. Good luck!

RE: Dynamic JSPs and STRUTS
What struts tag libs overlap JSTL? The logic and bean tags have overlap with JSTL tags. We've made a decision to do everything in JSTL, EXCEPT for the Struts HTML tags. Best of both worlds and all that. Let's see what happens when JSF becomes a reality. -TPP - This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
