Writting Nested Properties

[Gran Roguismo]

I'm having issues getting values out of my nested beans.
The structure is like this. I put a subBean into a topBean. I put the topBeans into a Vector and I put that into the request.

in my JSP I get the vector out of session and iterate through it, getting out topBeans. From time to time I want values from inside of those subBeans though. How can I get them without a bunch of scriptlets in the page?

My current clode looks like this:

    
<logic:iterate id="topBean" name="topBeans" >
 <% if (isSubbeanValue()) { %>
  <nested:nest property="subBean">
   <nested:text property="valueName" />
  </nested:nest>
 <% } else { %>
  <bean:write name='topBean' property='valueName' />
 <% } %>
</logic:iterate>

this however, obviously, is not working. What other tags can I consider? Am I using these improperly? To my thinking that "nested:nest" tag needs a "name" tag to work properly. How can I make sure it's getting it from topBean.

Just to clarify, when I use the <bean:write name='topBean' property='valueName' /> on it's own here I get the Bean type on the screen, not the value I'm looking for.

thanks for your help

alright, I got what I needed.
I defined the bean while it was iterating through

<bean :mrgreen: efine id="subBean" name="topBean" property="subBeanValue" />
<bean:write name='subBean' property='value' />
