I agree with Alex that current strut taglib has a big deficiency. It allows only access through get/set methods of a property. How do I write the size of collection object to a page without resorting scriptlet or <%=? How do I write toString() output to a page without resorting scriptlet or <%=?
I had a proposal to allow x.y expression to get y in the this order: (1) x.getY() (2) x.y() (3) x.y In this way, to write toString of x object to a page, simply use <bean:write name="x" property="toString"/> This proposal is shotdown. Without this, scriptlet has to be used in jsp. ct --- Arron Bates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For one, I recommend getting your properties into > getter/setter > methodology.
