Using commons.BeanUtils with Collections

[Suman Chaudhuri]

Hi,

If I have an Employee class that has a collection of Addresses, and I want to extract Address.address1 from this collection using BeanUtils, how would I go about doing that ? I tried using BeanUtils.getNestedProperty(), but what do I pass in as the 2nd String argument ? It is expecting the nested property, but I have to traverse the collection to get each Address object and then get to the "address1" property. Any tips on this would be helpful.

If someone can give me some code that actually traverses a Collection, picks out a field in the object in that Collection and sets it to, say "", using the commons package, that would be great. de blocks.
