Gokul Nanthakumar C commented on LANG-790:
------------------------------------------
Thanks Gary for your valuable input and time.
Javascript in Java, cool, but I like to have an option in Java, As I commented
earlier, if that is the choice I can use any JVM languages to achieve this, we
can use Groovy to achieve this and many more.
You may choose to call it is as Interpreter, but for me it is just an utility
method for easy navigation.
Private method support not necessarily required as we can not access them any
way in normal way.

> Issue Type: New Feature

> Adding a method for null safe navigation of objects will be very helpful. for
> example a method like
> ObjectUtils.getValue(Object obj, String "path", String defaultValue);
> ex :ObjectUtils.getValue(myObject, "x.y.z", "default");
> it will navigate in the myObject like myObject.getX().getY().getZ(), if any
> thing in the path is null (x,y or z), it will return the default value.
> It will be really useful, it is like null safe navigation in groovy.
