--------------------------------------
This is already possible with BeanUtils. See

String)|http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-beanutils/javadocs/v1.8.3/apidocs/index.html]

>
> 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.
