For example, and indexed collection of: * ints * chars * Integers * Characters * JavaBeans In other words, an indexed property can be a built-in type, an object of some sort, and if it is an object, it may or may not be a JavaBean. A JavaBean which has a property which is another JavaBean, has one JavaBean nested within another. But just because it is nested, doesn't mean it has to be indexed. So an indexed property may or may not be a nested JavaBean. A nested property may or may not be indexed. > In the example discussed below, if the property 'companyName[]' is just an array of >strings, how can the property 'latest' (double) be nested within > companyName[]? It can't. I think the example is mixed up. As you say, a String cannot have a double as a nested member. cc
