Hmm, I was not aiming for a Servlet 2.2 solution, but it's possible that could happen. As you suggested, I'm only implementing the Struts tags which provide functionality not in the JSTL. I'm implementing them by using the internal EL engine from the JSTL. If we were to try to get it work with Servlet 2.2, you would essentially have to use both sets of Struts tag libraries (and not use the JSTL tags at all). You would use this library to get the JSTL functionality, and the regular library to get the functionality I'm not porting. I believe that can work, although I'm not directly testing for that. -- =================================================================== David M.
