Unable to access nested managed bean property in JSF 1.2.9

Question

In an old version of JSF, namely 1.2-b20-FCS from April/21/2006, I could access nested properties of a managed bean. So I had a managed bean OuterBean, and in JSF I could write
<h:inputText value="#{outerBean.innerBean1.propertyA"/>
The Java class OuterBean has a member function
InnerBean OuterBean.getInnerBean1();
That is, there is a function getInnerBean1() taking no arguments, and it returns something which in my example above is the class InnerBean.
Class InnerBean has a member function getPropertyA().
But in the latest JSF from July/17/2008, this nested stuff is not working.
Simple access like #{outerBean.propertyA} works, but nested access like #{outerBean.innerBean.propertyA} does not.
The exception is something like
org.apache.jasper.el.JspELException: /whatever/mypage.jsp(71,15) '#{outerBean.innerBean.username}' Error reading 'innerBean' on type
mypackage.OuterBean at org.apache.jasper.el.JspValueExpression.getValue(JspValueExpression.java:107) at javax.faces.component.UIOutput.getValue(UIOutput.java:184) at com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.HtmlBasicInputRenderer.getValue(HtmlBasicInputRenderer.java:201) at com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.HtmlBasicRenderer.getCurrentValue(HtmlBasicRenderer.java:284) at com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.HtmlBasicRenderer.encodeEnd(HtmlBasicRenderer.java:154) at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.encodeEnd(UIComponentBase.java:861) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:946) at javax.faces.render.Renderer.encodeChildren(Renderer.java:148) at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.encodeChildren(UIComponentBase.java:837) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:936) at javax.faces.component.UIComponent.encodeAll(UIComponent.java:942) at com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl.doRenderView(ViewHandlerImpl.java:271) at com.sun.faces.application.ViewHandlerImpl.renderView(ViewHandlerImpl.java:202) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RenderResponsePhase.execute(RenderResponsePhase.java:109) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.doPhase(Phase.java:100) at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.render(LifecycleImpl.java:139) at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:266) atThanks.

Answer 1

Sorry, it looks fine to me. In my original post, I had the call stack in code and for some reasons the newlines were removed. So let me try again in text, but putting two newlines. Hope it works this time:
org.apache.jasper.el.JspELException: /whateverr/mypage.jsp(71,15) '#{outerBean.innerBean.property}' Error reading 'innerBean' on type mypackage.OuterBean at
