Struts 2 and JSTL
Hi All,
Is JSTL and JSTL EL the library and expression language of choice in Struts 2? I read about OGNL somewhere.What library does it use?
What are its advantages over JSTL?
regards
Rahul

I think you can (still) also use OGNL in the configuration files.

JSTL is a standard, but only works in JSP files. It provides both an EL
and a set of custom tags.
OGNL is an EL only (AFAIK), but it much more powerful and flexible than
the EL supplied by JSTL. It's also much more tightly integrated with
Struts 2, and works with all the view template technologies Struts 2
supports (JSPs, Freemarker, Velocity, etc.).
If you're using Struts 2, you probably want to be using OGNL rather than
JSTL EL. Doing so will make your view templates much simpler.
