Re: [Beanutils] DynaBean and JSTL EL

Will that be addition be part of the 1.1 final release of Struts?
You get my vote on adding it (getMap) to BasicDynaBean, but I agree with you about the DynaBean interface.

Subject: [Beanutils] DynaBean and JSTL EL

Hi,

I'm trying to create a JSP page that will present a collection of
DynaBeans into a table, using JSTL. I've attached what I've got so far
(the "results" object is a Collection of DynaBean objects that have been
put in the Request object by a Servlet).

I am stuck where I need to get a property from a DynaBean.

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.

How can I do it?

Thanks
-Vincent
