[OGNL] accessing properties

Hello,

how does one access properties whose names contain characters that are 
normally interpreted by OGNL, such as:

main.text=some text

I tried

properties.'main.text'

but get a syntax error

thanks,
Christian

I'm not sure how you could have a property with a name like "main text" 
but you can use the array-like syntax as an equivalent to direct 
property chain access:

    properties["main.text"]
