How does nested syntax in property attribute work

Hi,

In some of the e-mails I have seen nested syntax being used for property attribute, e.g.,

<html:text property="mailingAddress.street"/>

what does that mean? Is it that the getMailingAddress() method of the bean will be called, and then what is ".street" for?

Yes.

the property reference above translates to

     getMailingAddress().getstreet()

Clink on the link to "Bean tags" on the Struts home page for more
info.

.street is the getStreet( ) method of the object returned by the
getMailingAddress( ) method of the acion bean tied to the action
of the surrounding html:form. This simple is that.        incze
