Newbie question #3

[Alex Colic <al...@pop-ware.com>]

Hi, I am porting one of my web apps to the struts infrastructure. I have a
few questions that should get me on the right track. I hope someone out
there can help.

On one of my pages I am getting an object that is already in the session
via:

<jsp:useBean id="user" scope="session" class="com.mycompany.myClass.User"/>

The User class has a method getEmployee() that itself has a method
getDepartment();

I want to set a text box to the getDepartment() value.

In a standard case the property value is a String, in this case the property
I get is an object of type User that I need to call methods on. How do you
do that in the below tag?

<html:text name="user" property="employee.getDepartment()" size="16"
maxlength="20" />

Any help is this case is highly appreciated.

Regards
