expression language and access of collection properties, howto

[David Delbecq]

Hello,

according to expression language in JSP 2.0 specification (which jsf-el 
uses) the value of exprA.exprB is the same as exprA[exprB]  and is 
evaluated like that:

.....
if exprA is a List, coerce exprB to an int, if coercion failed, error.

I am in a situation where i have a Collection of items (List) which also 
has some proerties (like a name).
However, if i do "theBean.name" expression language tries to convert 
name to an int which fail and throws error, but what i want is in 
expression to reach "public String getName();" in the bean.

Does someone have a suggestion of expression to reach this property in 
my collection? Thanks.
