How is <DISPLAY PROPERTY="request:params:myparam"> implemented in side of
JRUN or other JSP Engines? Looking at the source generated by JRUN I see
that it places the same call to JSP.beanVal() that it would for any other
bean. What's different of course is that the myparam is a string argument .

Does a params bean with getter methods get created on the fly? I would think
so. What I suspect is that there is some hidden introspection activity going
on that knows that what we really want to do is pass "myparam" as a string
argument to the params bean (or maybe the request bean's params method?)

Anyhow, my point is that it would be useful to have some introspection
happen that would let you display properties based on hash-table keys or
string values. That way you could access properties not known at compile
time (like the request headers and input parameters) .
