ValidationErrors unable to resolve nested properties. [DATAREST-496]

Andrew Hamilton opened DATAREST-496 and commented

org.springframework.data.rest.core.ValidationErrors#getFieldValue uses the field as a key into the propertyCache when attempting to resolve the invalid value of the validation error.

For nested properties, this always results in a null invalidValue:

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "entity" : "PurchaseOrder",
    "message" : "must match \"((0[0-9])|(1[0-2])|(2[1-9])|(3[0-2])|(6[1-9])|(7[0-2])|80)([0-9]{7})\"",
    "invalidValue" : "null",
    "property" : "payment.bankAccount.routingNumber"
  } ]
}

For this request the routingNumber was "02100002133222".

From a quick look at the code, I'm not sure if getFieldValue should do the property navigation to attempt to find the invalid value, or if there's a more appropriate place to do that
