Yes, you can.

Just use "dot notation". For example, if the nested bean is a bean named "user" with an attribute of "firstName", you could write the following:

<html:text property="user.firstName" />

Well Merrill, Thanks for the reply. That explains me of how to use beans with nested properties in a JSP.

I am wondering, how FormBeans with nested properties can be declared as a DynaActionForm in struts-config.xml!

Just specify the class for the bean in the type attribute. Example:

<form-property
        name="user"
        type="com.mycompany.User"
/>
