nested key in bindings

[João Paulo Varandas]

Hi Murat.

For a structure like this:
var obj = { "key1": { "key2" : { "key3": "value1-2-3" } } }


Simple answer:
The get call support flat structures.

b.get("obj.key1.key2.key3") will return null ...

But ...


Long answer:
If you are in JavaScript, you can evaluate this with the syntax:
var val = obj.key1.key2.key3;

If you are in Java, what happens is that you have a Map, inside a Map,
inside a Map ...

Map<String, Object> map1 = (Map<String, Object>) obj.get("key1");
Map<String, Object> map2 = (Map<String, Object>) map1.get("key2");
Object val = (Map<String, Object>) map2.get("key3");

Since you cannot chain the calls, you either need a helper method where you
will "chain" this in a recursive method, or you may ask the scriptEngine to
evalute this for you!

Have you tried something like ...
myScriptEngine.eval( "myobj.key1.key2.key3", bindings )
?
