problem with automation of struts html code

Hi folks,
In my webapplications there are many html page with
the similar look and structure. I am trying to factor
out them.  So I created utility functions to print out
html code to the jspWriter.  But I am not able to
incorporate struts tags into these functions because
they will just be printed without being rendered
through the struts engine.
So if I print <struts:radio .../> it will come out
like <struts:radio.../> without any change.   
On the other hand if I don't incorporate struts tags
into my utility functions and use just plain html
code, I don't get to take the full advantage of struts
tags.
How do I get around this problem?
thanks

Wo_Shi(etc.),

If all you want to do is apply a style (or two) of template(s) to your
JSP's, take a look at SiteMesh instead of Tiles.  I recommend SiteMesh over
tiles if you only want to "wrap" your pages in one or two templates.  For
anything more complex, I would suggest Tiles with TilesActions and/or
TilesControllers.

You can find SiteMesh on OpenSymphony.com at:

David

Don't write your own page templating system. Use Tiles instead.
