If you use DynaBean based beans, you can get pretty much the same effect
by just using:
<bean:write name='entry' property='cn'/>
because the underlying DynaBean property ends up being retrieved with:
String cn = entry.get("cn");
(This works in the nightly builds and in Struts 1.1-b1 -- it uses the most
recent commons-beanutils nightly builds as well.)
Over the longer term, I would strongly suggest that we *not* add any more
functionality to the proprietary "expression language" that Struts uses to
retrieve property values. Instead, it's time to start migrating to the
expression language being used in the JSP Standard Tag Library
(http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/standard), which will also become part
of JSP 1.3.
