<html:text property="EMail"/>
in order to work.
Actually, I do not think getEMail() method breaks any conventions. The reason property="eMail" does not work is because "to support the occasional use of all upper-case names, property name is not modified if first two characters are upper case". It seems to me that there is a fix for properties that break the naming convention (all upper case), but that fix breaks some cases that actually follow the naming convention ("eMail"). At least I did not see a rule that forbids a property name having the first "word" being only one character (is there one? I did not read much else besides chapters 8.3 and 8.8...).
Don't worry, I'm not going to use bean.getEMail() :)

Using a later release won't change anything, because the commons-beanutils code that Struts uses under the covers requires you to either follow the property naming conventions in the JavaBeans spec (http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/docs/spec.html), or provide BeanInfo classes to tell the server what your property getter and setter methods really are. Property names like "eMail" break the conventions, and are thus not recognized. See the spec for more details on all of this.
