I would say there are several basic ideas here: 1. Use a JSP 2.0 container, like Tomcat 5. The JSTL is implemented natively there.
2. Use solution 1. 3. Build a second tag library that's implemented exactly like Struts-EL. Each tag class in Struts-EL is a subclass of the corresponding tag in the base library, and the only functionality in the Struts-EL tag is to pass the attribute value through the EL engine from the Jakarta JSTL implementation. 4. Do not build a tag library that implements your business logic AND references the Jakarta EL engine. When you move to a JSP 2.0 container, you'll then have to spend more time yanking it out. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 8:15 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: passing JSTL to custom tag attribute > > > Hi, > I wish to call a custom tag, passing a dynamic value for > its attribute.
