PropertyUtils.getIndexedProperty() with Obect key as parameter

[Dimitri Valdin <di...@db.com>]

Hello,

at the moment I am working for the Deutsche Bank in Germany. I have managed to persuade
people to use Struts for their purposes, and we are happy about that. Thank you for the nice product.

I would like to propose a small extension. It would be nice to have access not only to indexed properties
with integer as index, but to get access to some property through some key, for example to access
HashMap or Hashtables.

      <bean:write name="someBean" property="someProperty.value[key]"/>

Bean should have an access method getSomeProperty() which returns HashMap or smth similar.

or

      <bean:write name="someBean" property="someProperty[key]"/>

Bean should have an access method Object getSomeProperty(Object key) similar to
Object getSomeProperty(int index) which is already supported by Struts

Here is a sample implementation. Let me know what do you think about it, or you have a better idea perhaps.

Regards,

Dmitri Valdin
