By accident I discovered that I am able to display information directly from a HashMap using <bean:write>:
<bean:write name="myHashMap" property="myKey"/> Based on my reading of the Bean Tags API Reference I didn't think it was possible to do this. I have done something similar using Map-backed ActionForms with setValue() and getValue methods that access a private HashMap: <bean:write name="myBean" property="value(myKey)"/> Is there any reason why it would not be a good practice to display information directly from a HashMap using <bean:write>? Thanks for any ideas on this. Jack --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
