Accessing Nested Beans

[csprogrammer]

Hey guys, when I was working with Spring a while back I remember you
could reference a nested object by setting the name of a field using
dot notation.

<input name="Report.Schedule.Frequency.frequencyId" value="WHATEVER"/>

Then inside your controller it would automatically call:

getReport().getSchedule().getFrequency().setFrequencyId(WHATEVER)

Is there a way to do this with ColdSpring or do I need to set the
value manually?

<cfset var Report = arguments.event.makeEventBean(getReportService
().new())/>
<cfset var frequencyId = arguments.event.getValue("frequencyId", 0)/>
<cfset Report.getSchedule().getFrequency().setFrequencyId(frequencyId)/
>

Thanks in advance for the help.

No ColdSpring doesn't do anything like that. In fact that sounds like something more related to the Spring MVC framework than it is for the core IoC container.

Yeah, that's all the binding stuff that SpringMVC does for you.
Remarkably helpful stuff, not having to ever parse request parameters,
just get fully inflated objects from scratch.
