struts-el tags. I have "Struts in Action" and "JSP Tag Libraries" (from Manning)
in my library and it looks like I will go ahead and get "JSTL in Action". In
general, I like the Manning books. The one complaint I have about "Struts in
Action" is that (because of pub date) it spends alot of time on 1.0 and then
explains the differences for 1.1. For someone like me that's learning struts
now, I found it kind of painful. Now I also need to incorporate the new JSTL
stuff. I know this stuff has been around awhile but for a newbie right now its
quite a bit to absorb.

I'm not sure I understand what "the EL is already available" means.
Tomcat 5 supports JSP 2.0 -- JSP 2.0 supports the use of Expression Language (EL) within template text. IIRC, Tomcat 5 will ignore EL on a JSP page if the web app referencs the Servlet 2.3 DTD -- however, you can override this on a given page using the following directive.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED] isELIgnored="false"%>
Then with your page you can use markup like the following where the EL is embedded directly on the page -- it does not require a tag.
<h4>Errors</h4> <p> Following are the errors: ${errors} </p>
As far as books go I think that JSTL in Action is excellent -- that being said, you can get a lot of info from both the JSTL specification -- but not as entertaining as JSTL in Action :)
