Creating a mailto within a 

Hi,

I'm stuck on what seems like an easy task and I need some help! Here's my code:

<!-- START LOOP -->
<logic:iterate id="result" name="psrBean" property="projectByCriteria" scope="request">
    <html:link page="/findByName.do" paramId="id" paramName="result" paramProperty="ID">
    <bean:write name="result" property="name"/></html:link>
    <bean:write name="result" property="shortDescription"/>
    <a href="mailto:<bean:write name="result" property="email"/>"><bean:write name="result" property="manager"/></a>
</logic:iterate>
<!-- END LOOP -->

I'm iterating through an array of beans returned by the property projectByCriteria of the psrBean bean. My problem is that I cannot get the email address to dynamically populate the <a href="mailto: ... >. There does not appear to be any tags that handle mailto's. I tried looking more closely at the <html:link> tag, but I haven't found anything to help me solve this problem. Any thoughts?

Instead of this:

<a href="mailto:<bean:write name="result" property="email"/>"><bean:write
name="result" property="manager"/></a>

try this:

<bean:define id="email" name="result" property="email"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<a href='<%= "mailto:" + email %>'><bean:write name="result"
property="manager"/></a>

Hope this helps.

I tried what you have below and it works fine.

<a href="mailto:<bean:write name="result"  property="email"/>"><bean:write
name="result" property="manager"/></a>
