You should be able to use BeanUtils' mapped property access for this, right?
<c:set var="modelListProp" value="modelList(${param.paramName})"/>
<jsp:useBean id="modelListProp" type="java.lang.String"/>
<bean:define id="modelList" name="bean" property="<%= modelListProp %>"/>
Which should give you a bean called "modelList" that holds your collection. This
assumes there's a bean called "bean" whose class implements the getModelList method.
