Struts bean tags

Struts bean tags

This documentation describes the HTML elements that are available in the Struts Bean Tags drawer.

When you are editing a Struts JSP page in Page Designer, you open the Struts Bean Tags drawer on the palette and add to the page any of the elements that are listed in the table below.

The elements are listed in alphabetical order. Some elements may be hidden on the palette. To show a hidden element in the palette, right-click the Struts HTML Tags drawer and choose Customize. Remove the check next to Hide for each component that you want to display on the palette.

Each element has a number of properties you can set by using the element's Properties view. For an alphabetical listing and description of all the properties, refer to Properties for Struts bean elements. To look up properties for which you want additional detail, use the Attribute listings while working with the component's Properties view.

For each element in the table, the tag has a bean prefix. For example, cookie is bean:cookie.
