Tried <c:out value="myBean.myNestedBean.${displayData.methodName}"/>
and it resolves to a string "myBean.myNestedBean.methodX" I also tried <c:set var="temp" value="myBean.myNestedBean.${displayData.methodName}"/> <c:out value="${temp}"/> and get the same thing. I need the result of the string to be resolved after the method name is returned.
