New implementarion in commons-beanutils





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-09-13 16:25 -------
Hard coding the supported conversions does not seem like the correct approach. 
If BasicDynaBean were to support conversions, it would be better to create a
String<-->CLOB converter and register it with ConvertUtils, then use that.

However, the real problem is that BasicDynaBean is *not* supposed to be doing
conversions on the property values it stores.  Instead, it expects them to match
the type specified when the underlying DynaClass was created.  In turn, for the
case of RowSetDynaClass, the code in JDBCDynaClass.createDynaProperty()
determines what class the property is supposed to be by calling the
getColumnClassName() method of ResultSetMetaData.  If your JDBC driver does not
return the correct value (i.e. "java.sql.Clob" or some subclass of it), then
there is nothing that BeanUtils can do about it.

Hmm ... I was about to close this bug as WONTFIX, but just noticed that
createDynaProperty() swallows any SQLException thrown by getColumnClassName()
... with a note that this is to deal with HsqlDb.  This is really really bad,
and needs to be investigated further.  But fixing this won't help if your JDBC
driver is broken, unfortunately.
