I have a question about using OGNL PropertyAccessors. We have an object on the value stack that we expose to JSP pages that does not have standard JavaBeans getter/setter methods. From what I can tell, this leaves us 2 options. We can either call the getter methods explicitly via OGNL method calls in the pages, or we can wrap the object in a JavaBean-like object. The second option is unworkable in all but the simplest of cases when you realize that the method calls can themselves return another object that needs to be wrapped, or even a collection of them. So we've been using method calls in the pages (yeah I know).

Reading through the OGNL docs, it seems that what we need is a PropertyAccessor that knows how to operate on our object. So we implemented one, and attempted to register it by placing this in our struts.xml:

<bean type="ognl.PropertyAccessor" name="class.we.need.access.to" class="our.property.accessor.PropertyAccessor"/>

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Can someone tell me what we're doing wrong, or even if what we're trying to do is possible? Thanks!

I don't know anything about OGNL's PropertyAccessor, but I doubt anyone can offer much help without seeing the code and a better description of the failure than "it doesn't work."
