Hi,

we are working on a spring mvc portlet which uses freemarker templates.

Currently we have a problem using a ":" as part of the name attribute of a form element, for example: <input name="abc:def" .../>. We are required to keep the colon there.

We have configured Spring to map this form element to a bean property, but can't figure out how to do this. The mapping from abc:def to bean properties is direct, so our bean setter would have to be called "setAbc:def()", which is ofcourse not valid Java.

Is there any way to influence the name somewhere along the line to match the form element name to the bean property.

Thanks,
Sunil.
