Staticly checked Java Bean property paths to be used instead of string literals.
Eg:
Account account = root(Account.class);
BeanPath<String> customerNameProp = $( account.getCustomer().getName() );
// then customerNameProp.toDotDelimitedString() => "customer.name"The core idea is to use runtime proxies to capture method (as in mock frameworks).
See more examples and some explanation in BeanPathMagicTest.
