Description

As today properties binding does not work for nested objects so assuming I have a class like:

class MyComponent {
    
    public void setFoo(String foo) {
        this.foo = foo;
    }

    public String getFoo() {
        return foo;
    }

    public void setConfiguration(Configuration conf) {
        this.conf = conf;
    }

    public Configuration getConfiguration() {
        return conf;
    }

    static class Configuration {
    
        public void setBar(String bar) {
            this.bar = bar
        }

        public String getBar() {
            return bar
        }
    }
}

And a set of properties like:

myComponent.foo = "foo"
myComponent.conf.bar = "bar"

Then only MyComponent.foo will be set but it would be nice if the binding framework could navigate the property using dot notation and set any dependent object.
