Description

When an array with multiple dimension is used, accessing and setting properties is not supported.

For instance, the call to PropertyUtils.getNestedProperty(myObject, "multiArray[0][0].id") fails since the second array index is never used.
This raises the following exception.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Unknown property 'id'
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean.getSimpleProperty(PropertyUtilsBean.java:1122)
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean.getNestedProperty(PropertyUtilsBean.java:686)
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getNestedProperty(PropertyUtils.java:272)
at Test.main(Test.java:24)

The "id" property does exists in the object "multiArray[0][0]" and if I make a call to multiArray[0][0].getId(), the correct value is returned.
