Is there any way to prevent NPE when accessing a nested bean using commons-beanutils? Here is my code:

new BeanUtilsBean().getProperty(human, "parent.name");

In this case I want getProperty() to either return empty string ("") when human.getParent() == null or handle it in a way other that throwing an NPE.
