Question

We can access the valueStack (and other objects of ActionContext) using OGNL but can we do the same with EL. I mean the Action class’ properties, for instance, that are exposed via valueStack; are they available via EL (are they set as request attributes, only then I guess they will be available). If a class implements ModelDriven, we can access the model object’s properties via their direct name, instead of using modelObject.propertyName in JSPs using OGNL. Can we do the same using EL ?

Providing answer based on the comments so that user with same query/question able to get it answered.

JSTL integration is built into the framework – there are no steps required to enable it. Simply refer to your JSTL expressions just as you would with a normal SAF JSP tag, such as the property tag.
