A more elegant solution would be:
<html:submit>
<fmt:message key="todo.editSaveButton bundle=${loc}/>
</html:submit>
You cannot use one JSP tag as a parameter toi another JSP tag. The solution
you have used is the general method for using a tag as a parameter to
another (el aware) tag . If you were using struts-html rather than html-el
then you would have to define a scripting variable (via bean:define) rather
than a scoped attribute to achieve the same thing.
