[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Public members as bean properties within EL?

I have a class that looks like this: | public class Foo { | public String name; | public String favoriteColor; | } | When I try to access this in EL, using something like #{foo.name} it gives me an exception because it says that "name" is not a bean property. I can fix the problem by adding getters and setters, of course, but for this class, I would prefer to just use public members. Is such a thing possible? I realize that public members are usually considered bad Java, but in this case, it really is a data transfer object, used much like a C struct, and it does make sense for them to be public.
