In a jsp page I need access to the value of a nested property. The call to the property is somehting along the lines of:

The 'getVersion' in the myObject class come in several variations with the following signatures

			

			public getVersion(Locale locale);
			

			public getVersion(String localeid);
			

			public getVersion();
			

		

In the call that I described above I would expect that a call would be made to the second method. However, the call is made to the third method. Is this the desired behavior?

For completeness sake I have to say that I do not have any 'setVersions' defined in the myObject class.

After changing the signature of the second method to:

			

			public getVersionOnLocaleId(String localeid);
			

		

.. and making the approriate changes to the JSP it all worked fine. Some debugging taught me that the call is eventually handled by PropertyUtilsBean, which is where i stopped. But i do wonder if the parser that generates the calls to the methods should take into account the presence of a parameter when deciding on which method to call?

BTW: I have not yet checked the source but I am willing to make the appropriate changes if the answer to my question is yes!
