Andy,
I have the same issue, but a have found a solution (I think).
I made a little modification in this class
http://fisheye5.cenqua.com/viewrep/xwork/src/java/com/opensymphony/xwork/util/InstantiatingNullHandler.java
from WebWork to work for me and override the method readCompile
I remember last year, someone wanted to do the same thing...

graph in that way : client.address.street, without have a null pointer
exception... how can i do that...
I kwon that i can do that with webwork. is that a way to do in tapestry???
Both (tapestry and ww) uses OGNL, so
