[JAX-RS] Nested parameter injection into a bean

I would like to leverage the CXF extension for parameter injection into a
bean, however my bean structure is more than 1 level deep. Take the
following example:

class Name
{
    String first;
    String last;
}

class Address
{
    String city;
    String state;
}

class Person
{
    Name legalName;
    Address homeAddr;
    String race;
    String sex;
    Date birthDate;
}

class MyService
{
    @GET
    @Path("/getPerson")
    Person getPerson(@QueryParam("") Person person);
}

I would like to be able to pass something like:

/getPerson?sex=M&legalName.first=John&legalName.last=Doe&homeAddr.city=Reno&homeAddr.state=NV

This example is simplified somewhat, in a real world scenario there would be
many more fields and subfields, making it impractical to cover all
combinations with path or named parameters. Does this capability already
exist and I'm just not finding it, or would this be a useful feature that
the product might benefit from?

Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig M.

Hi

I think it's an interesting idea, bean properties have no '.' thus using a '.' as an indicator should work. The procedure in charge 
of handling this extension will become more complicated, possibly recursive, but it looks like it's quite realistic to make it 
support queries with nested parameters...
I'm not sure though when exactly I will be able to look into it - the immediate priorities at the moment are to fix the reported 
bugs, support constructor-based injection and do TCK, but I might be able to do this enhancement sooner rather than later. A patch 
would be welcome too...

cheers, Sergey
