Rick, Did you see my previous reply?
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=taglibs-user&m=105840665117009 Using an Integer as a key works fine as long as you've already got it as a scoped attribute. I just can't see any way to "construct" a key that will work using literals. So, in your example, if "currentLaborReportLevel" is a scoped attribute of type Integer and "mapOfLaborReports" is a scoped attribute of type Map with Integer keys, then "${mapOfLaborReports[currentLaborReportLevel]}" should work. Are you getting any exceptions or just no output? Have you dumped out both currentLaborReportLevel and mapOfLaborReports to make sure they really contain what you expect?
