& static

Another q:

is it possible to access a static method
[ie. public static getX()] from a bean:write?

<bean:write name="myBean" property="x"/>

seems to throw an exception for me.
i would have guessed that it would work...
although i question what would happen if
you tried to put something in the attribute.
the setX() wouldn't exist...

See the JavaBeans spec.  Static methods are not recognized as properties.
