new but related question...

i've gone back to the simplest example, a list that contains several
objects.  if i try to get this to display using the column tags
(<displaytag:column property="desc" />) i get an exception that the
desc is not found.  desc is a String with a getter (getDesc) and a
setter (setDesc(String)) in my object.  i don't think i've done
anything different than the examples so i'm not sure why this doesn't
work.

i decided to take the column tags out and just use the
<displaytag:table name="tmpList" /> tag to display everything in my
list.  when i do this i get a table that is headed "Bytes" with binary
garbage as the values...
what do i do to get my attributes rendered?

thanks again,
andy
