taglib purpose?
In reviewing bug 16916 I started wondering what the purpose of the nested
taglib is. It seems like its functionality is handled by struts-el tags and
the EL syntax they provide. That bug deals with Tomcat 4.1.18 which
supports the EL so the need for nested goes away.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Dave

The nested tag library uses BeanUtils syntax for it property accessors,
which is more consistent with the original tags than EL-based stuff is.
For pages that use lots of EL, the struts-el tags are going to feel easier
to use. To each their own.
The nested tags also, in many circumstances, can lead to shorter
expressions because of the implied-parentage stuff.
