inconsistency in property expression when using . for self reference

[Joseph Pachod <jo...@thomas-daily.de>]

hi

Let's consider this class :
class Container {
        String string = "foo";

        List<String> strings = Arrays.asList(new String[]{"test"});
    }

This would work:
new PropertyModel<String>(container, ".string").getObject()
=> returns "foo"

but this doesn't:
new PropertyModel<String>(container, ".strings[0]").getObject()
it fails with
org.apache.wicket.WicketRuntimeException: no get method defined for class: class org.demo.PropertyModelTest$Container expression: strings

Similarly, this doesn't work:
new PropertyModel<Container>(container, ".").getObject()
exception is :java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0


In the end, should the dot being allowed for self reference ? It's already used as the property separator, so it would be quite misleading.

I've attached some proper junit test for these points.

Please attach to a JIRA [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET] so
