I'm pretty sure you're not! It gave me nothing but
grief for a few weeks, and I still get a little
confused sometimes.

One of the issues is that the tag library docs don't
specify which tag attributes are expecting OGNL
expressions and which aren't. Digging in the source is
actually the quickest way to figure some stuff out for
now, and has other benefits as well :)

Honestly, *everything* I know about OGNL came from the
following three links:

http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ognl.html
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ognl-basics.html
http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/index.html

I also spent a few hours just playing around with OGNL
EL expressions, trying out the stuff from the OGNL
language guide, etc. That proved to be the most
beneficial, and there are a lot of neat little OGNL
tricks that are very handy sometimes from that guide,
in particular:

http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/specialCollectionsProperties.html

and

http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/projection.html

which, if followed to its logical conclusion, gives
you a fair amount of power in selecting items from an
existing list without having to write any Java code.
