[beanutils] little bug with indexed primitive types and null values

[Mario Ivankovits]

Hi!

I've found a little bug in beanutils where, in case of indexed primitive
types (e.g. boolean array) a null value gets not correctly converterd.
If nobody minds I'll commit the following patch for beanuilts:

             } else if (value instanceof String[]) {


Test cases still pass, and now our application will work too.

Thanks!
Ciao,
