Question

I have a getter method in the bean associated with my form, which returns a Map. I want to access the object corresponding to a given String key from the map using Struts 1.x tags. I can iterate over the map by using its entry set and retrieve each key and its corresponding value, but I can’t think of a way to access the value using directly its key

Answer 1

Just use

${bean.map.key}

to get it. Or, if it is a dynamic key in flavor of another variable, use the brace notation

${bean.map[key]}

this is also useful if the hardcoded key itself contains one or more periods

${bean.map['key.with.periods']}
