I have the following class:

public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {

public String execute() {
    ...
}

public String getPippo() {
    return "pippo";
}

I link this action in struts.xml config file:

<action name="home" class="path/to/HomeAction">
   <result name="success">/jsp/home.jsp</result>
</action>

And in the related jsp page

// home.jsp

// this works
<s:property value="getPippo()"/>

// this doesn't work
${getPippo()}

I tried also different scope (page, session, application) but It says that It cannot find the function. I'm missing something?

Did you try ${pippo} ? – want2learn Nov 02 '17 at 17:20
and `%{getPippo()}` ? – Yasser Zamani Nov 02 '17 at 18:17

Use `${pippo}`. – Aleksandr M Nov 02 '17 at 18:26

you should try in the request scope. – Roman C Nov 02 '17 at 22:34
`${pippo}` would be the default access mechanism. – Dave Newton Nov 03 '17 at 14:52
