java - javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: The class 'com.springapp.mvc.Class' does not have the property 'Courses' -

this question has answer here:

• javax.el.propertynotfoundexception: property 'foo' not found on type com.example.bean 2 answers

here's model:

public class class {     @manytomany(etc etc)     @jointable(etc etc)     public list<course> courses; 

here's view:

<c:foreach items="${classes}" var="class"> <tr>     <td>${class.classname}</td>     <td>     <c:foreach items="${courses}" var="course">         <input type="checkbox"             <c:if test="${class.courses.contains(course)}"> checked</c:if>>         ${course.coursename}     </c:foreach>     </td> </tr> </c:foreach> 

the view produces 500 error:

javax.el.propertynotfoundexception: class 'com.springapp.mvc.class' not have property 'courses'.

el not properties getters:

public class anyclass {    private string aproperty;    private string getagetter() {     // ...   }  } 

${anyclass.aproperty} fail, ${anyclass.agetter} succeed.

to transform getter name el expression, "get" (or "is") prefix removed, , first char lowercased.

in case, guess getter name getcourses, gives courses. have use ${class.courses}.
