Null safe Navigation in ObjectUtils
-----------------------------------
Key: LANG-790
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-790
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Gokul Nanthakumar C
Adding a method for null safe navigation of objects will be very helpful. for
example a method like
ObjectUtils.getValue(Object obj, String "path", String defaultValue);
ex :ObjectUtils.getValue(myObject, "x.y.z", "default");
it will navigate in the myObject like myObject.getX().getY().getZ(), if any
thing in the path is null (x,y or z), it will return the default value.
It will be really useful, it is like null safe navigation in groovy.
