Accessing nested attributes using

[Andreas Leitner <al...@macron.at>]

Now, this may be a really stupid question and may not even fit this
list. If that's the case please give me a hint where I could look for an
answere.

I can render a property of a bean using <bean:write>, but what if I want
to render to a property, but a property of a property?

Imagine the class:
Person
	String name;
	Person father;

If I have a given person instance in a bean named "foo", I can render
it's name via
<bean:write name="bean" property="name"/>
But how can I render the name of foo's father?

Many thanks in advance,
Andreas

Silly me, I tried that of course as it seemed obvious. But I got an
error, now I discovered that the error was related to another class.
Unfortunatly the error told me "No Such Method" - given that it was late
already yesterday, I must have confused things.

Thanks for your help,
Andreas
PS: Also thanks to the other ppl. that responded.

This is the same as getFather().getName().  You can
also use nested properties for html:text and all the
other Struts tags.

<bean:write name="bean" property="father.name"/>

Arrays are supported to.
<bean:write name="bean" property="name[0]"/>
