Accessing value in a bean (hashmap of hashmap)

[Wayne Fay]

I have a managed SanityCheckBean which saves values in a GenericVO
object which is then placed into a HashMap.

SanityCheckBean.init():
messages = new HashMap();
GenericVO gvo = new GenericVO("database");
gvo.put("value1", "success");
gvo.put("value2", dbmeta.getDatabaseProductName());
messages.put("database", gvo);

SanityCheckBean.getMessages():
return messages;


I have a method GenericVO.getValue(String s) to retrieve these values.

Everything works great in unit tests etc but I just can't get the EL
right to access the values in my t:dataTable.

<h:dataTable id="messages" value="#{sanityCheckBean.messages}" var="message">

<h:column>
  <h:outputText value="#{message.value('value1')}"/>
</h:column>


I've tried a few things but just can't get it.

Thanks for any help.
