[jboss-user] [Microcontainer] - Re: Nested property reference

It actually doesn't create any anonymous bean but it's identical to the following Java code: beanX.getPropA().setPropB("C"); It's often very useful when you want to modify a property of a read-only property (i.e. propA = read only, propB = writable). "alesj" wrote : <bean id="beanY" ...> | | <property name="propC" ref="beanX.propA.propB" /> | | </bean> | | This can be trivially added to our inject element: | | <inject bean="beanX" property="propA.propB"/> Sounds great!
