http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16525 BeanUtils.setProperty is over-zealous at converting types [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|Blocker |Enhancement ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-04 07:35 ------- I've applied a more conservative version of the proposed patch to copyProperty(), which covers about 80% of the use cases for indexed and mapped properties, and 100% of the use cases for nested properties. The existing functionality of setProperty remains untouched. This is available in nightly build 20030204 of commons-beanutils, and is very likely to be made available in a 1.6.1 patch release of commons-beanutils. The concept of abstracting out a common BeanPropertySpecifier is an *excellent* idea, and will offer many opportunities to reduce the code bloat that has grown in the (nearly) three years of the existence of BeanUtils. Yet, I agree with Tim's assessment that this is more appropriate for a major (2.0) or minor (1.7) version change, rather than a 1.6.1 patch release that is urgently desired by several projects. When we decide to formally review this idea, we should also evaluate whether it makes sense to use something like the commons-clazz project APIs to represent the metadata about a bean property that works across standard JavaBeans and DynaBeans, or go ahead and implement a commons-beanutils-proprietary API like BeanPropertySpecifier. Because the majority of use cases are fixed by the checked-in patch, changing this to an enhancement request so it won't get forgotten. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
