I recently posted a question here regarding using tags that refer to a List

I was told that I should be using indexed tags. Googling for that

You can specify an interceptor-ref per action. Your file upload could point
to a different interceptor stack.
If interceptor is the only option can anyone tell which will be the safest
way to achieve this without disturbing other struts default filter like
fileUpload.
It appears that the relevant portion of your code example is this:
li id=user-s:property value=#user.id/-${id}
#user.id gives you the id, right? Do you want it twice?
You also have s:iterator value=#request.users var=user
Did you put request into the context? The typical pattern would be to
