I personally think writeNestedProperty() is a perfectly valid feature request to be added to Cayenne. If you are already using OGNL, such as in a Tapestry application, that is also an option. Keep in mind that nulls give OGNL heartburn, though. I'm not certain what Cayenne does with them in readNestedProperty(). (EOF's KVC will return a null if it encounters a null, while OGNL throws an exception -- that feature complicated some of my Tapestry pages.)
I might have to look at this a bit more later. /dev/mrg PS. If you create a working writeNestedProperty() before we can and feel like sharing, please do. On 6/29/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
