I am not sure this is what you mean but you can try using a field in
your managed bean for example:
String address;
And then in the getter do:
String getAddress(){
return myMap.getAddress();
}
Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: accessing static fields and methods via EL
Madhav,
Well generally I make an accessor method in my managed bean when I need
to provide EL access to static fields like this. However, I have not
tried using this in combination with a Map, so I don't know if that will
complicate things for you.
