Well, but dynabeans must be declared in the struts-config file in
advance, to my knowledge, so they aren't as dynamic as my ldap entries
are. The above example works for java classes where
<bean:write name='entry' property='property(cn)'/>
translates to getProperty("cn"), just not for get("cn"). I thought this
would be a very minor fix (tweak) to PropertyUtils, not an extension of
the expression language.
