Nick,

With the following statement:

  <c:set target="${franchiseShortName}" property="${330707}" value="SLP" />

The value ${330707} evaluates to an integer. However, the target
type for 'property' is a String. So the integer is converted to 
a String transparently.

This is why to retrieve the value, one must use the following
expression:

  franchiseShortName['330707']

Now, if you try

  franchiseShortName[330707]

this does not work because 330707 evaluates to an integer
that is boxed into an Integer, which does not result
as the key for any entry into the map.

And if you try

  franchiseShortName.330707

This fails because 330707 is not a valid Java identifier.

Hope this helps,

    -- Pierre
