I don't know as this is correct for *any* tag library.

It works for S2 tags that use OGNL, because S2 tags evalue OGNL.

It works for tag libraries that choose to interpret attribute values as JSP
EL and do the EL processing "by hand", because S2 provides a request wrapper
that maps EL expressions to the value stack (or the programmer uses a JSP EL
expression as the attribute value).

If an EL expression isn't used and the tag library doesn't assume EL or OGNL,
though, the tag library will just get a string, AFAIK (and whatever type
conversions are available to tags these days).

Re: Request scoped data in Struts2

My point is just having getters for an Action property should suffice for it to 
be accessed in the view by any tag library.
  
Chris Pratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
  You are correct. In that case,



is equivalent to calling

request.put("someName",action.getSomeName());

in an Action that implements RequestAware. So when Display Tag processes



The "someName" attribute is available when the JSP Tag Library
(DisplayTag in this instance) calls
pageContext.findAttribute("someName");

But you have to use the (or put the value in the request from
the action) for DisplayTag to see it.

You are correct.  In that case,



is equivalent to calling

request.put("someName",action.getSomeName());

in an Action that implements RequestAware.  So when Display Tag processes



The "someName" attribute is available when the JSP Tag Library
(DisplayTag in this instance) calls
pageContext.findAttribute("someName");

But you have to use the  (or put the value in the request from
the action) for DisplayTag to see it.
