Re: Path Expression => Attribute

[Andrus Adamchik]

You can evaluate an expression with root ObjEntity:

String path = "toArtist.exhibitArray.closingDate";
ObjEntity rootEntity = context.getEntityResolver().lookupObjEntity 
(Painting.class);
ObjAttribute attribute = Expression.fromString(path).evaluate 
(rootEntity);

hi,

How do I get from a path expression  to the resulting attribute  
object.

E.g. Is there anything that I can use to parse a path like

toArtist.exhibitArray.closingDate

and get the corresponding ObjAttribute for closingDate.

As a precondition i would assume that the path evaluates to an  
attribute.

thanks
