Struts Tags vs. JSTL


Struts has a number of helpful custom JSP tags, and Struts-EL adds much needed EL support. I'm looking for thoughts on relative merits of using Struts/Strut-EL tags where available vs. just using JSTL tags.


Solution

  • Simple:

    • Struts Tags are only available to projects that use Struts
    • JSTL tags can be used anywhere and can even co-operate with other frameworks such as Spring or JSF
