newb authz tag question access, class, operation, question, displays

amy

Using acegi-security-1.0, Spring-2.0RC3

I am trying to stick to using the authz taglib in my jsp (no scriplets) that displays the user's details (i.e. username, email, etc) and I am running into an issue trying to access the complex properties of my custom UserDetails object when using the authz tld.

For example,
lt;acegi:authentication operation=quot;firstNamequot;/gt;, works fine.
However since my UserDetails Impl class contains complex objects (i.e. an Address object), I need to display these values as well. But lt;acegi:authentication operation=quot;address.street1quot;/gt; causes an error.
Error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.test.bean.Member.getAddress.street1()

Question: is there a way to reference complex members/properties of the UserDetails implementation class by just using the authz tld and NOT creating a getStreet1() method in the UserDetail impl class.

example UserDetail Impl class:Code:
public class Member implements UserDetails {
   private int memberId;   private String username;    private Address address;
...   private Address getAddress() {       return address;   }
...
}
Address class snipet:Code:
public class Address {   private int addressId;   private String street1;   private String street2;
...   public String getStreet1() {       return street1;   }
...
}
any information is appreciated.

Not sure how I missed this one, guess tired eyes from searching, but it appears I found my answer.

From Ben Alex gt;gt;The authz tag doesn't support nesting. ...lt;lt;

guess I will have to use jstl  for now...

Thanks anyway,
