Support for nested properties
-----------------------------

                 Key: JBMICROCONT-220
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-220
             Project: JBoss MicroContainer
          Issue Type: Feature Request
         Environment: N/A
            Reporter: Trustin Lee
            Priority: Minor


Support for nested properties make beans XML more concise and easy to understand.

Before:

<bean name="beanX" ...>
    ...
</bean>

<bean name="propA" ...>
   <constructor><factory bean="beanX" method="getPropA"/></constructor>
   <property name="propB">...</property>
</bean>

<bean name="beanY" ...>
    <property name="propC"><inject bean="propA" property="propB"/></property>
</bean>

After:

<bean name="beanX" ...>
    <property name="propA.propB">...</property>
</bean>

<bean name="beanY" ...>
    <!-- Ales's suggestion: is this supported now?  -->
    <property name="propC"><inject bean="beanX" property="propA.propB"/></property>

    <!-- Spring style: not sure if this is better or not, but it's somewhat finger friendly :)  -->
    <property name="propC ref="beanX.propA.propB"/>
</bean>
