Invoking methods using expression language

Question

Hi!

In my spring's config I need invoke method "get" (java.lang.ThreadLocal's instance object). How I can do it without creating new class with "correct" method's naming (smt like "getValue" instead of "get")?

Thanks.

You can't. EL is following the JavaBeans convention. You have two options:

• define a custom JSTL function that retrieves the objects
• create a wrapper class the has, say, getThreadLocalValue() and access it via bean.threadLocalValue
