RE: anyone using jstl side by side with the strut taglibs?

2003-11-19 Thread Manjunath Bhat
I am quoting following from O'Reilly Programming Jakarta Struts By Chuck
Cavaness for your info..

snip
The Struts Bean and Logic tag libraries may eventually be phased out in
favor of the JSTL tags. In the next few versions of the Struts
framework, look for changes in these two libraries to help ease that
migration. 

It should be obvious from looking at the tags included with JSTL that
not all of the Struts tags are being replaced. The tags within the HTML
tag library in particular will be around for some time.

Expression Language ... its being able to use ${param.id} in a JSP tag

to get the value of the id request parameter passed to the JSP using
it.

Or being able to do something like test=${empty linkParams} to test if

a particular variable has no values/is null/etc.

Hi,
I'm nearing the end of a prototype for my first Struts application.
At first, I used JSTL to handle most of my iteration, declarations,
and conditional operations. Then, as I learnt more about the Struts taglibs,
I decided to simply use the Struts libraries, for the sake of consistency
with the framework.
Does anyone regularly combine JSTL and Struts taglib usage? I'm
curious as to whether or not it's an effective approach; I think it could
perhaps lead to confusion when developers first begin working on an
application using both libraries.

Thanks Brice,
I just checked out Struts-EL. I think I'll begin using it with JSTL.

Gus,

EL is an acronym for `Expression Language'.
