Madhav,
Well generally I make an accessor method in my managed bean when I need
to provide EL access to static fields like this. However, I have not
tried using this in combination with a Map, so I don't know if that will
complicate things for you.

Hi All,
As per the documentation EL in its current form does not support access
to static fields and methods. I have a scenario for static field usage:
I have the following Map:
Key - SomeClass.PUBLIC_STATIC_CONSTANT
Value - Object
Let us take an example:
Address class -
2 public static constants are declared:
1. public static final String PRIMARY_ADDRESS = "primary_address";
2. public static final String SECONDARY_ADDRESS = "secondary_address";
For a person a Map is maintained containing addresses. The key for this
map is either of the constants mentioned above. I could only find one
way to access the city attribute of a primary address:
#{someManagedBean.addresses['primary_address'].city} - I had to provide
the value stored against the constant field - which means hard coding,
which in all means I wanted to avoid.
I encountered a sourceforge project which extends the current EL -
http://el-functors.sourceforge.net/
Are there plans to make this an integral part of EL?
