You can do this on your own custom objects. When encountering a Collection, however, the JSTL EL (and the preliminary JSP 2.0 EL) treats it as a Collection, not a JavaBean. Thus, the JavaBean properties you add to the Collection via a BeanInfo class have no effect on the EL. The ideal thing to do, if you're designing your own data model, is to provide a wrapper for the Collection that looks something like this: public Collection getItems(); public int getSize(); -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
