There really isn't a difference. According to the book "JavaServer Pages" by
Larne Pekowsky (p. 49):
The [getProperty format] is recommended because it makes it clear that the
object is a bean. In addition, down the road the bean specification may be
expanded so that a bean can comprise multiple classes, at which point this
translation will not work any more.

Subject: <jsp:getProperty>
I don't understand the difference between <jsp:getProperty> and calling a
get method directly, e.g. <%=getName()%>
Thank you
