I just wanted to quickly point out a small difference between the new taglib we introduced last week and our regular, non-jsp tags. Most of the tags look the same, but for unbound Grids and ComboBoxes, the data elements are a bit different. For the taglib, instead of specifying data as attributes, there is a single data attribute that takes a JSON object. For example, the <e> element looks like this in the taglib:

<n:e data="{'xi' : '0',
             'a' : 'Mick Jones',
             'b' : 'Topper Headon',
             'c' : 'Joe Strummer',
             'd' : 'Paul Simonon'}"></n:e>

And for those who are interested, there are new articles in the KB describing how to set up a databound Grid in Struts 1 and Struts 2.
