I would strongly suggest you use JSTL where possible and use the
Struts tags where necessary. This is the supported mantra from the Struts development team (of which I am a member).
Basically this means using the Struts HTML tag library for forms and dropping the Struts Logic and Bean libraries for the JSTL tags.
Hope that helps,
