Nope, you can do it. From the spec:
<%-- “productDir” is a Map object containing the description of
products, “preferences” is a Map object containing the
preferences of a user --%>
product:
<c:out value=”${productDir[product.custId]}”/>
shipping preference:
<c:out value=’${user.preferences[“shipping”]}’/>
Using "." notation should work as well:
user.preferences.shipping
