The following code provides an example usage * demonstrating all the methods: * * <pre> * // Iterate through a nested property expression * while (resolver.hasNested(name)) { * * // isolate a single property from a nested expresion * String next = resolver.next(name); * * // Process... * String property = resolver.getProperty(next); * if (resolver.isIndexed(next)) { * * int index = resolver.getIndex(next); * bean = getIndexedProperty(bean, property, index); * * } else if (resolver.isMapped(next)) { * * String key = resolver.getKey(next); * bean = getMappedProperty(bean, property, key); * * } else { * * bean = getSimpleProperty(bean, property); * * } * * // remove the processed property from the expression * name = resolver.remove(name); * } * </pre> * * In order to create an implementation, it is important to understand how * BeanUtils/PropertyUtils uses the <code>resolver.
