Hi, I understood perfectly his point, the problem with that solution, and please correct me If I'm wrong, is that I need to build the entire Map object in order to use the lookup operation, which is annoying and contains performance impact if I'm going to use only minimal set of that mapping.
Thanks for the clarification. b.t.w I'm trying struts-el now, I hope that I'll find there my remedy.

That's exactly his point. If you change your "object" getter method which takes a string parameter into a "map" getter method with no parameters, then you can use the JSTL syntax. Since your original method has to do a lookup with a string key, you can instead return an object (the Map) which performs the lookup instead of doing the lookup in your getter. This is feasible even if your string lookup isn't using a HashMap or HashTable. You could even build an inner class that implements "Map" that performs whatever custom lookup you need to perform with your String key. -- =================================================================== David M.
