Re: nested tag issue

Absolutely right. What this code is trying to say, is that the nested tags need a valid root tag on each JSP. In this case, David's used the nested:root tag. It can also be the html:form or nested:form tags. The form tags are bound to their form definition in struts-config.xml, to escape this

nested tag issue
