This resolver handles base objects of any type, as long as the base is not null. It accepts any object as a property, and coerces it to a string. That string is then used to find a JavaBeans compliant property on the base object. The value is accessed using JavaBeans getters and setters.

This resolver can be constructed in read-only mode, which means that isReadOnly will always return true and setValue(ELContext, Object, Object, Object) will always throw PropertyNotWritableException.

ELResolvers are combined together using CompositeELResolver s, to define rich semantics for evaluating an expression. See the javadocs for ELResolver for details.

Because this resolver handles base objects of any type, it should be placed near the end of a composite resolver. Otherwise, it will claim to have resolved a property before any resolvers that come after it get a chance to test if they can do so as well.
