[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4689) Make sure @OrderBy supports dotted notation to point to embedded properties

[Emmanuel Bernard (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4689?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=35131#action_35131 ] 

Emmanuel Bernard commented on HHH-4689:
---------------------------------------

hum no you can't do that.
I looked at the code a bit, it seems that your algo is indeed part of the findPropertyByName algo
**
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer( propertyName, ".", false );
				while ( st.hasMoreElements() ) {
					String element = (String) st.nextElement();
					if ( property == null ) {
						property = associatedClass.getProperty( element );
					}
					else {
						if ( !property.isComposite() ) return null;
						property = ( (Component) property.getValue() ).getProperty( element );
					}
				}
**
so extract this method from findPropertyByName, host it on BinderHelper and use it for your case.
