new feature

[c tang <cc...@yahoo.com>]

Hi there,

I'd like a new feature being added to Nested
References of bean tag.  Currently it can read from
property with getter method.  It would be nice if it
can read from a pure method too.

For example,
currently
property="foo.bar"
is translated into the equivalent the Java expression:
    getFoo().getBar()

I propose that if getBar() is not available,
property="foo.bar"
is translated into the equivalent the Java expression:
    getFoo().bar()

This is a feature in webobject, which allows access to
an object without have to define an attribute.

Looking to call a method besides get*() runs contrary to the JavaBean
specification. Struts should stick to the book.
