Without thinking about it very much, I would expect that one or other of these would work: <bean:write name="user" property="country.population" /> <bean:write name="user.country" property="population" /> but failing that, JSTL would probably be the better choice: ${user.country.population} No muss, no fuss. If you aren't familiar with JSTL, take an hour to learn it.
