double "." in generated validation.xml

[jo]

I'm generating Common Validators validation.xml with XDoclet tags, like
@spring.validator type="required"

Doing this works fine for all simple objects, and objects that have one level of sub objects, but I get strange (I think...) results whith objects with two levels of sub objects. For these objects, some double "." are created in validation.xml. An example may look something like this:

public class A{
  ...

  /**
     * @spring.validator type="required"
   */
  public void setB (B b){
    this.b = b;
   }
}

public class B{
  ...

  /**
     * @spring.validator type="required"
   */
  public void setC (C c){
    this.c=c;
   }
}

public class C{
  ...

  /**
     * @spring.validator type="required"
   */
  public void setSomeProperty (Boolean someProperty){
    this.someProperty=someProperty;
   }
}

This will make the generated validation.xml look like this:

<form name="a">
   <field property="b..c.someProprty" depends="required">
       <arg0 key="a.b..c.someProperty"/>
   </field>
 </form>

Can somebody explain the double "." between b and c?

Seems like a bug in the generator. Please post a JIRA ticket.
