## weka.core
Class PropertyPath

    java.lang.Object
      weka.core.PropertyPath

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RevisionHandler

    public class PropertyPath

extends java.lang.Object
implements RevisionHandler

A helper class for accessing properties in nested objects, e.g., accessing the "getRidge" method of a LinearRegression classifier part of MultipleClassifierCombiner, e.g., Vote. For doing so, one needs to supply the object to work on and a property path. The property path is a dot delimited path of property names ("getFoo()" and "setFoo(int)" have "foo" as property name), indices of arrays are 0-based. E.g.:

`getPropertyDescriptor(vote, "classifiers[1].ridge")` will return the second classifier (which should be our LinearRegression) of the given Vote meta-classifier and there the property descriptor of the "ridge" property. `getValue(...)` will return the actual value of the ridge parameter and `setValue(...)` will set it.
