Re: OGNL - Getter and setter types must match

[Laurie Harper]

The restriction comes from the Java relection API semantics, not OGNL. A 
property can only have one type, so it makes sense that the getter and 
setter for a JavaBean property must agree on that type. Changing this 
would break compatibility with the JavaBean specification, at the least...

Thanks for the explanation. What a silly restriction. Anybody up for
removing it? I don't have access to the OGNL source.

I've come across this also, and the way I explained it was that it had
something to do with matching getters and setters to be well formed java
beans.  Although I never took the time to look into it further.
