Note however that there is no JSTL equivalent for most of the Struts
HTML taglib... the Struts HTML tags are Struts-aware, i.e., will
automatically pull data from your form beans to populate the fields...
JSTL can't do that automatically.
Aside from the HTML taglib, Laurie is of course right, you'll find JSTL
pretty well provides what the other Struts taglibs do, and more.

Simply put, the Struts tags pre-date JSTL. The JSTL tags provide
equivalent functionality in many areas and more besides. Since they are
a standard and more complete solution than the equivalent Struts tags,
their use is recommended.
The Struts tags have been kept for backwards compatibility and for those
who are unable to adopt JSTL.

Can I ask, what is the reason for avoiding the Struts tags and using
the JSTL tags? (It begs the question, what is the purpose of the
struts tags?)

How can I 'send' this array from fooBarStrutsAction.java, and its

public ActionForward execute(...) TO a jsp file, let's say display.jsp?
and by the way, how to access that array within the JSP file.
I think I am missing a crucial concept here, thanks for clarify this.
In your action,
request.setAttribute( "myArray", myArray );
In your JSP use JSTL's <c:forEach> tag to display the values.
(The Struts <logic:iterate> tag can be used instead. While we
recommend JSTL over the equivalent Struts tags, you might want to keep
things simple at first and avoid introducing another library.)
