Thanks Shawn and Gideon.
I rather suspected that was how I would have to proceed, but wanted an
official declaration of that being the way to go. Gideon is precisely
right about the JavaBean accessor patterns and that was what made me
realize this probably wasn't possible. I wanted to hear from someone I
thought had a better understanding than myself though. While I use the
JSTL a lot this is the first time I've crossed this situation.
... off to refactor my class - thanks for the info :-)
