book.getTitle() is the public method for my Book class.
book.title is a private String property so it's not accessible. 

Even if book.title were visible, I'm pretty sure that <c:out>
must be able to use javabean methods as well as properties,
both of which just return a String after all (at least in my case).

 Thanks for trying to help, but the problem still persists.

Stephen.

Note: Not ${book.getTitle()}, but ${book.title}

Best regards,
