Re: use EL in Struts 1.1

[Janelle Smith]

I'm using Tomcat  5.0.28 and I find I no longer need to use the 
struts-el tags because JSP 2.0 supports the ${} notation anywhere in the 
jsp page.  e.g. you can put ${2+2} it it will display 4 on the page.  I 
now find I can do everything I need to do with the regular struts tags 
and jstl. This was the main reason I upgraded to Tomcat 5.X.  I did find 
that it was a little tricky to get it working properly because you need 
to upgrade the schema reference in your web.xml file to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
   version="2.4">
Check out the JSP 2.0 specification Part 1 page 63 where it describes 
the jsp 2.0 implementation of el.

I have found that this has really made development much easier. 

Hope that helps,

I use Tomcat 5.0.27, I don't use the "isELIgnored" attribute, and I do 
use the struts-el tags (Struts version 1.1), and everything works fine.

Rajesh,
If you use this syntax in your Tomcat 5.X.X (I'm on 5.0.27) JSP's:
<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
Remember to use the standard struts tags, not the contributed struts-el
tags.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to 
make it
so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way 
is to
make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

Are you using a JSP 1.2 or JSP 2.0 container?  If you're using a JSP 1.2
container, you use the jars/tlds in "contrib/struts-el/lib".  If you're
using a JSP 2.0 container, don't use Struts-EL.  I didn't see in any of
these notes where you said what container you're using.
