If the dot(.) operator is used to access a bean property but the property does not exist ,then a runtime exception is thrown . Is this statement correct?

For example:

If there is a bean named customer and it has only one property say name but it does not have a property say age.
So ,
Will this EL throw a runtime exception?: ${customer.age} or ${customer["age"]}

Yes, an EL Exception will be thrown!

Since it's a bean object ${customer.age} it's like customer.getAge() but that method does not exists.
