bean:write inside html:text

[Mark Butcher]

Hi there,

Not able to display values with <bean:write> inside <html:text> using Struts 1.3

Here is the code :
Action Class
--------------

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
 		
		ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
		list.add("Hello");
		list.add("Good");
		list.add("Morning");
		
		request.setAttribute("sendToJsp",list);
		
		return mapping.findForward("success");
	}

JSP Code
-----------

<logic:iterate id="myIter" name="sendToJsp">
<html:text property="<%<bean:write name="myIter"/>%>" /> 
</logic:iterate>

Thank you.
Mark

You cannot use a custom tag as the attribute value of another custom tag.

Okay.....but an alternative would really help me.

Try iterating using JSTL tags

I would be using JSTL and EL rather than proprietary tags. The EL can be used as attribute values.

Or you could use the version of the Struts tags that work with EL: http://struts.apache.org/1.x/struts-el/tagreference.html#struts-html-el.tld

I would really appreciate an example.
Thanks.

<HTML:text property='name' value='${emp.name}></html:text> where property is your formbean property and value is what you were trying to put in bean:write tag emp is bean name and name is the property.
