If I understand you correctly you are looking for some sort of dynamic actions. I'm not sure it can be done with that sort of "double-EL-resolve". You can always use multiple links with rendered-conditions like | <s:link action="{actions.add}" rendered="#{action='add'}">Add</s:link> | <s:link action="{actions.nuke}" rendered="#{action='nuke'}">Nuke</s:link> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4125005#...
