If I understand your question crrectly, you have to check all the intermediary objects for existence:

if (dataSourceConfig &&
    dataSourceConfig.transport &&
    dataSourceConfig.transport.read &&
    dataSourceConfig.transport.read.url != null
) {
  // is not null or undefined
}

Otherwise you can do something like this:

function isKeySet(obj, key) {
  var keys = key.split('.');
  return keys.reduce(function(o,k){ return o[k]; }, obj) != null;
}

isKeySet(dataSourceConfig, 'transport.read.url'); // false

Are you know maybe there is function in javascript for this? – Mediator Jun 14 '13 at 05:33
I'm pretty sure there's no built-in function but `isKeySet` above should do. – elclanrs Jun 14 '13 at 05:39
