"user.phone" is just like performing each of those method calls using
Java reflection -- It's "type independent". Fundamentally this is an
issue of your model design. If Administrator extends User (as an
aside, this is generally not a good design style -- Administrator is
a role of a user, not a subtype of a user ... meaning, you might
eventually want to make a user NOT an administrator, but if it's
typed as such, you're stuck) and user has the method "public String
phone()" or "public String getPhone()", then Administrator does
also. So binding value = user.phone where user is an Administrator
OR a User will always work, because that method is inherited. What
EXACTLY is the error you are getting? I suspect it's not the problem
you think it is.

Forgive me if this is a really obvious answer, but what do you mean
by "the key"? If phone is a property of Administrator but not
User, and in my component I have a WOString with value =
user.phone, it gives an error.
Otherwise, as Chuck kinda pointed out, it might be easiest to
create separate edit pages and not fight it.
Thank you for your feedback,

I'd like to have a generic edit user page that can edit both of
them. If this isn't possible, has anyone else found a solution
to a similar situation?
You might just use the key ... it should work. No cast necessary.
Or add a wrapper method in your subclass of the generic edit page
to return the casted object.
