thought about it a little, and there doesn't seem to be an obvious fit to pairing the evaluation to a complex bean structure ready for BeanUtils without explicit handling. if it does happen it'll be a concoction of our making rather than something that just slides in there. think maybe the nested tags will become victim to the jstl. oh well. in this regard I think the jstl is lacking a little power for use with Struts. though I am bias, you can do some truly funky stuff with Struts when its marked up with the nested tags. But they're hardly a standard. Lately been working on a project which has some interesting stuff. I've taken a few parts a next step and I get the feeling it's towards what I imagine Java Server Faces to turn out to be. Looks like a bright future. If if could muster the energy for something open source in the future, it'd be the JSF impl. Apache looking at taking on an impl project?... Any chances of getting a backdoor of that spec?... :) Arron. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
