Thought I'd bring up a few more issues in the area of XPath support in Struts... XPath has a function mechanism, and the standard defines a couple of core functions (and various XPath engines provide an extension mechanism). So you could write JSP pages containing the following tags... <bean:write xpath="concat( /request/customerBean/firstName, ' ', /request/customerBean/secondName)"/> This would concatenate the values of the firstName and secondName properties of the bean named 'customerBean' in the request scope. But what if I decided that I wanted to set the value of an input control to the concatenation of the in-scope bean's first and second name properties. <html:input xpath="concat( /request/customerBean/firstName, ' ', /request/customerBean/secondName)"/> To which bean property would the value of the field be posted? Perhaps we would still need to provide the 'name' and 'property' attributes in this case?
