Description

<s:url action="%

{leftMenuLinks[#stat.index].action}

" method="%

{leftMenuLinks[#stat.index].actionMethod}

"/>

I have the above expression on my JSP. The action attribute correctly evaluates my expression and displays the value from the bean. The method attribute does not evaluate the expression. If I place the expression in an s:property or in the action attribute of the url tag it is evalated correctly and displayed. So I think the expression is valid.

From the documentation I understand that the method attribute should evaluate expressions and so am assuming that this is a bug. Happy to be proven wrong if I should be using a different syntax to get expression evalation in this attribute.

Many thanks.
