                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-245
             Project: Commons BeanUtils
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0 Release
         Environment: Windows XP Professional, Java 5
            Reporter: Pawan Kumar Shrivastava


This is the specific problem, when you are setting a nested index property i.e. 
 - 
list1[0].value

Now i have initialized list1 as = new ArrayList(). Obviously the size is 0. So 
PropertyUtils uses List.set(index, value) method, which throws 
IndexOutOfBoundsException as the size and index are same.

I think it should check the index and size first and then decide whether to 
call add(index, value) or set(index, value).

Please let me know, if my understanding is wrong. One potential misuse i can 
see is what if someone passes index 100. But not sure if this can be resolved 
by somehow shrinking the list.
