Bean Editor class cast issue method access issue

[Ken in Nashua]

Hi Folks,

I have a taxonomy...

PERSON
   /\
    |
    |
COACH

person has a method firstName

But in my tml file I am using the following code...

        <div class="t-beaneditor">        
                
            <t:beaneditor object="mb:bean" t:mixins="tynamo/BeanModelAdvisor">
                <p:firstName>
                    <label class="desc">The Description</label>
                    <t:textfield value="bean.firstName"></t:textfield>
                </p:firstName>                
            </t:beaneditor>

bean happens to be the COACH... but it seems to be interpretted as Object

and I keep getting this error

java.lang.RuntimeExceptionException
 assembling root component of page Edit: Could not convert 
'bean.firstName' into a component parameter binding: Exception 
generating conduit for expression 'bean.firstName': Class 
java.lang.Object does not contain a property (or public field) named 
'firstName'.
Is there a way around this ?
