How to map form data to a HIERARCHY of domain objects

Hi, I want to map data posted from a form to a hierarchy of domain objects.
For exampe, my form includes the following information:

Person first name
Person last name
Company name
Company address

I would like a javabean hierarchy, whose root is an object of type Person,
and which allows me do the following:

person.getFirstname();
person.getLastname();
person.getCompany();
person.getCompany().getAddress()

The last line is the crucial bit. It indicates that I require mapping of the
form data to a nested object model. Is there a component in Struts to do
this?

I expect there is, but have so far been unable to find it.

Thanks for your help,
Mike

Struts does this by default,

name="person" property="firstName"
name="person" property="lastName"
name="person" property="company.name"
name="person" property="company.addresss.line1"
name="person" property="company.addresss.line2"
name="person" property="company.addresss.line3"
