The API way, of course is to call the get() method, but that doesn't help
you access it from JSTL.
In Struts, we recently added a getMap() method to ActionDynaForm (extends
BasicDynaBean) to return the underlying Map instance containing the
properties. This allows EL expressions like:
${customer.map.name}
to at least work on a DynaBean, even though the syntax is not transparent.
Such a thing could probably be added to BasicDynaBean as well, but I would
be -1 on adding it to the DynaBean interface itself -- there's no reason
to assume that every possible DynaBean implementation will have a Map
containing property values behind it.
