Description of the bug, copied from https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/7190
> In jdk 9 we started to sort the list of methods for each class for two > reasons: > 1. We had a number of bugs which state that our JavaBeans randomly does not > work, examples: JDK-6807471[1] , JDK-6788525[2], the reason was that the > order of methods from Class.getMethods() is not specified. > 2. We tried to sort methods so the more specific returns types come first, > this was done because our logic for selecting the correct method did not work > properly. > > The second issue above was fixed by the separate change > [JDK-8196373](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196373) so now we > only need to sort the list of methods in any order and do not care about > return types. > Unfortunatly it was found that we have two code paths to create a PropertyDescriptor, one of them is used by the `Introspector.getBeanInfo` and was patched by the [JDK-8196373](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196373) and another when the PropertyDescriptor is created directly and it still affected by that bug. The code added by this patch is the same we already use in PropertyInfo.java, see https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.desktop/share/classes/com/sun/beans/introspect/PropertyInfo.java#L81 ------------- Commit messages: - 8308152: PropertyDescriptor should work with overridden generic getter method Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14228/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=14228&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8308152 Stats: 107 lines in 2 files changed: 105 ins; 0 del; 2 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14228.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/14228/head:pull/14228 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/14228
