Although EL can be tricky, I think in this case you're making it too hard. If you have a dictionary object ("d") and you want to access member "m" of that dictionary, I think the EL is simply "{d.m}". EL is done at run-time, and it's fairly dynamic.
Try it and see. For a fixed field, try "{d['m']}".
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
