Off Topic Expression Language question

Hi All,

Appologies for the off topic posting. Does anyone Know how I can access a 
bean property that takes a parameter using EL.

For example if in a bean I have define a name property with public String 
getName(){return name;}

I can access this with EL

${mybean.name}

But suppose in my bean the method signature is:

public String getName(String someParam){return name;}

How would I access this in EL and pass a value in for the parameter?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Leon,

Thanks for the reply. I refactored my bean so that the method no longer 
takes a String parameter which is as per the bean spec. I might have a look 
at your suggestion to see if that would have worked.

Regards

Jim

is it always the same object (class) and the same method you are
calling? In this case I'd suggest you write a three-line custom tag
for it. If you have to do it more often, maybe a tag using reflection
api would be an answer. I you write one, let me know, I may need one
too :-)

Leon
