First of all Is this normal class a Servlet???
Second you said b is a property..This means it is a field in that class.
If yes then why do you want to use EL for that???

The JSP expression language is implemented as part of the JSP container; it's not (normally) available in Java code. Now, it's possible that, with sufficient knowledge, you could use the JSP container's EL code from normal Java code, but I doubt it; it's almost certainly not written to support that use case.

Yeah, your best bet would be to look into the java.beans.Intorspector API and reflection. By properly understanding the two you could emulate the simplicity of EL using method calls.
