     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-790?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell closed LANG-790.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing this issue out. I think it's a request for a better EL (or beanutils or ...).

> 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.
