Every time a Bean/Simple Serializer/Deserializer is invoked, it constructs a PropertyDescriptor array (and possibly PropertyDescriptor Map).
I have code in my sandbox that should improve performance. I added the following two methods to TypeDesc, which get and cache the array and map: public BeanPropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors(); public Map getPropertyDescriptorMap(); // propertyMap used in the Bean/Simple Deserializers I changed the Bean/Simple Serializer/Deserializer to get the propertyDescriptor array/map via the above methods. Having these methods on the TypeDesc allows extended serializers to get/cache this information in a uniform way. Any objections to adding this code?
