combining struts tag and jstl

But one team member thinks it is confusing if we use both.

We have been using only struts tag for 6-7 years for this project and I recently start to use JSTL.

??

You don't say what is confusing about it?

I guess the team member prefers using only one type of EL language not both.

and we have Struts tags every where and I recently added JSTL in some JSP files. So, we can't convert every Struts tags to JSTL anyway.

Why? What problem did JSTL tags solve that Struts tags duidn't solve?

I just used JSTL because it is less code and more powerful and easier to understand.

You (or your team member) are still not giving any REASON for not liking or not preferring to use both. I don't know whether we can give you any more information if we don't know the actual reason why. Just say I (or they) don't really like it doesn't give us anything to go on as to how to make it better.

So unless you can give us more detailed reasons, all I can say is it is down to the two of you to argue it out between your argument of "less code and more powerful and easier to understand" and the team members argument of "I prefer not to use it" or "it is confusing" and you will just have to resolve that between yourselves.

thanks all. that is enough comments.

There you go then, you have two reason to use JSTL.
