[S2] simple question about s:set

[GF <ga...@gmail.com>]

The wiki says:

<s:set name="personName" value="person.name"/>
Hello, <s:property value="#personName"/>. How are you?

But how can I assign a string to a variable?

Something like:

<s:set name="personName" value="John Jackson"/>
Hello, <s:property value="#personName"/>. How are you?

I tried it but seems not to work..

Thanks

GF

The value attribute is treated an OGNL expression so "John Jackson" 
means its trying to access a property with that name.
Instead, you need to tell it you're using a string literal in OGNL:

<s:set name="personName" value="%{'John Jackson'}"/>
