Description Mike Norman CLA 2010-07-07 14:47:20 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #300398 +++

Proposal:

Add the following API to DynamicEntity:

  /**
   * @param propertyName the path to a valid object and property.
   * @return the a new instance of the specified property.
   */
  DynamicEntity newEntity(String propertyName);

Rationale:

Allow users 'fluid' access to navigating thru their (dynamic) object model:

  DynamicEntity de = emp.newEntity("address").set("street", "20 Pinetrail Cres.");
