Maps within Beans (was Stupid Bean Tricks)

[Joe Hertz <jh...@patriot.net>]

This example relates how to _implement_ things in your own taglibs. It
doesn't mention Maps at all (the part I'm being befuddled by). It's not
even specific to struts.

Actually, all I need is a reference on usage of the struts taglibs
beyond the foo.bar.baz example. I want to see how one can refer to Maps
contained in beans like Martin explained:

<bean:message name="user" property="en.message"/>

I have to admit, I found this confusing also because in my User object
(session key as "user") there would be a map of UserData objects. The
above example doesn't mention userdata at all, so I'm guessing Martin
meant this:

<bean:message name="user" property="en.UserData.message"/>

But in the interest of saving bandwidth, just the reference on how to
get to maps within beans.
