Hi Michiel,
this is not a stupid question. The answer unfortunately is that you can't
(as far as I know). This is causing us pain here in my company. For more
information, please follow the series of emails with the subject
"(architectural issue/feature request) JavaBeans in Struts aren't flexible
enough" (you can also find it at the mail archive at
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org
As far as the "why not?" question goes: my (educated) guess is that all that
Javabean stuff works through introspection, so when you specify property
"foo",there has to be a function called 'getFoo'.
hope this helps,
Iraklis

Subject: indexed property with a string
Perhaps a stupid question, but I'm rather new to taglibs and beans:
I think I can do:
<bean:write name="answernode" property="value[2]" />
where I have an 'indexed' property value. It is indexed with a int,
so it calls a method 'getValue(int)'.
Can I also have a property which is indexed with a string, which would
call 'getValue(String)' ?
Michiel
