Is it possible that in your example code there are lines referencing property instanceCount where they should reference helloCount?

In the part "Using Struts 2 Tags" it uses s:property to fetch the value for the helloCount variable inside a paragraph tag but doing as the example shows, doesn't get any value and the place is empty in HelloWorld.jsp. The lines below from this jsp shows my different trials and when it works. I would like to know the reason: <body> <h2><s:property value="messageStore.message" /></h2> <p>It is possible to fetch the static helloCount outside paragraph tags: </p> <s:property value="helloCount" /> <p>Inside paragraph tags the static helloCount preceded by @-prefix returns <s:property value="@helloCount" /> empty times!</p> <p>Inside paragraph tags the static helloCount without @-prefix returns <s:property value="instanceCount" /> empty times!</p> <p>By assigning the static value to an instance variable inside the execute method <s:property value="instanceCount" /> works well inside p-tags</p> <p> Still strange! The DAY-OF-WEEK is static but possible to fetch inside p-tags: <s:property value="@java.util.Calendar@DAY_OF_WEEK"/> as expected</p> </body> Best regards /// Sam Cyrus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
