util:property-path like functionality for the p-namespace [SPR-3360]

[spring-projects-issues]

Paul Austin opened SPR-3360 and commented

Would it be possible to extend the p namespace to allow for functionality similar to the util:property-path element so that you can specify property values using a path reference to other beans.

before

<bean ...>
<property name="foo">
<util:property-path path="bar.beer" />
</property>
</bean>

after

<bean ...
p:foo-path="bar.beer"
/>

This seems to be resolved via the expression language introduced in 3.0 M1. I will write a test to verify wether it works in the p namespace, though.

SimplePropertyNamespaceHandlerWithExpressionLanguageTests is there, and works.
