Why don't you try to use the Jakarta Commons BeanUtils library. You could
do a BeanUtils.describe() which returns to you a map (property name ->
property value). Then, it would be trivial to display it using the JSTL
libraries (iterate the keySet() to define the columns).

Subject: [cinjug-users] Access of anonomuos bean paramters inside JSTL or
Cust. Tag
Ladies and Gentlemen;
I have a requirement to develope a custom tag that will have passed to it a
collection of
beans, object type unknown, and render the bean fields as a header in an
html table and the
bean parameters in the rest of the table. This tag would have many
oppertunities for use
throughout the application, hence the desire to write the code in a
reuseable class.
Of coarse , this is trivial in JSTL if I know the bean object type in the
collection that is
passed, but not knowing the object type certainly makes it more challenging.
Clearly, reflection would be involved to get the parameters and the field
names, but, If I
can't cast the object being retrieved from the collection, I don't think
using reflection on a
generic Object instance is going to help me.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thank You;
John Olmstead
