Can you access private variables using OGNL?

Is there anyway using OGNL to access private variables that aren't exposed as a bean property (ie no get/set method pair)? I wanted to use OGNL as a faster, cleaner method of reflection for use in unit tests.

Here is my code:

@Test
public void shouldSetup() throws OgnlException{
    class A{
        private Object b = "foo";
        private Object c = "bar";
        public Object getB(){ return b; }
    }
    A a = new A();

    System.out.println( "This'll work..." );
    Ognl.getValue( "b", a );

    System.out.println( "...and this'll fail..." );
    Ognl.getValue( "c", a );

    System.out.println( "...and we'll never get here." );
}
