ValueStack.findValue(...)

[stanlick <st...@gmail.com>]

I am working on a custom result type and a weird scenario.  

If I issue vs.findValue("employees");

the getEmployees() is called on my action just fine.

However issuing vs.findValue("employee('e9874v')");

for a specific employee, I get a null value!

If I change th syntax to vs.findValue("getEmployee('e9874v')");

it returns the employee.

What's up with the funky requirement?   "employees" finds getEmployees()

I believe, though I could easily be wrong, that when you use the
JavaBeans reference, anything in the parenthesis is considered a Map
reference, so it treats the return from getEmployee() as a map and
attempts to look up "e9874v", which of course fails and returns a
null.  When you use the OGNL method syntax, it considers things in
parenthesis to be arguments to the method, so the call works as you're
expecting.
