I think this has come up before. BeanAdapter wraps a single bean instance and
exposes its (immediate) properties via map methods. You can access nested
properties using JSON.get(), put(), etc.
However, TableView does not currently expect paths in column names, only keys.
It could be modified to use JSON.get() instead, but I'm on the fence about
whether that is a good idea or not.
I think it looks like TableView already supports paths in column names.
TableView#load calls:
JSON.get(context, tableDataKey)
and JSON#get will call parse on the tableDataKey, which seems to create an
object navigational graph.
Right. We already made that change. So what is the problem you are running
into? data.group seems like it should work as a column name.
It doesn't work because BeanAdapter tries to find the getterMethod for
group in data (which is a Map) and it fails, since it is looking for
"getData", when it should be looking for "get" with an argument of
"data". It would require a couple of checks in the lines of if
(Map.class.isAssignableFrom(beanClass)) to create a spesific getter
method for Maps, and some other small stuff, but it could be implemented
very cleanly without any performance hit.
