           Summary: [digester] SetNestedPropertiesRule should behave like
                    SetNextRule
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.6 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Digester
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Currently, SetNestedPropertiesRule really expects all the child elements to
simply contain body text that can be converted to some primitive type via
ConvertUtils for assignment to a java bean property.

However quite often one of the elements will be matched by an ObjectCreateRule,
is represents a child object. Currently, it is necessary to use a
SetNestedPropertiesRule constructor variant to ignore this particular child
element, and add a SetNextRule to do the assignment instead. I think it may be
possible for SetNestedPropertiesRule to detect this situation and effectively
emulate SetNextRule instead, making handling of this situation clean and 
intuitive.
