SDO path accessors need to support names that contain "."

                 Key: TUSCANY-935
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-935
             Project: Tuscany
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java SDO Implementation
            Reporter: Frank Budinsky


This issue keeps coming up. The "." character is commonly used in industrial 
schemas, so we need to make it work. I propose handling it as follows:

Given a property name like "foo.0":

1. first simply check if there is a property with the specified name.
2. if a property with that name isn't found, then find the last "." character 
in the name.
3. if it is followed by digits, then use the substring from 0 to the "." as the 
property name, and the number after the dot as an index.

The only case this breaks is when there is both an isMany property named "foo" 
and another property named someting like "foo.0" in the same type. I think this 
is an unlikely corner case, that we can live with.

We'll also need to propose this behavior be clarified in the spec.
