Is it possible to have a custom tag have an attribute that gets mapped to a getter/setter pair which doesn't match the attribute's name wrt the JavaBeans specification?
For instance, normally an attribute named "dispatch" would get mapped to "getDispatch()" and "setDispatch()". However, I need to have it map to "getDispatchExpr()" and "setDispatchExpr()". I need this because my tag is deriving from a base class tag which uses the same attribute, but which is mapped to a getter/setter pair which returns/expects a boolean, instead of a string. My derived class needs to use a string, not a boolean. This is why I've defined "getDispatchExpr()" and "setDispatchExpr()". I was under the impression that this is what a "BeanInfo" class is for. It appears, however, the use of this class is just a convention, for IDEs which follow the JavaBeans specification, and that normal JavaBeans introspection doesn't use them. In my test case, my BeanInfo class appears to be ignored. -- =================================================================== David M.
