In JSTL 1.0, you cannot execute arbitrary methods of beans. In JSP 2.0,
you'll be able to set up EL "functions" that let you call methods you've
decided are appropriate for page authors.
In the meantime, if you have a method like getSingle(String), you may want
to expose it as a Map with the various potential argument strings as
keys. Then, you'd be able to write
${bean.single['foo']}
Hope that helps,
