I have a map with a string as key .The string contains some dots like p.s.amemdment.type.sow. In jsp I want display the value for key p.s.amemdment.type.sow. For this I should use <bean:wirte name=map property= p.s.amemdment.type.sow /> but the bean tag assumes the key as nested property and I get error .Is there any way I can make the bean tag assume the key as a string and not a nested bean.
