Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-285:
-------------------------------------------

OK I have reverted the behaviour in BeanUtils (and Martin's change to betwixt, 
as the method used by betwixt is now nack to how it was in BeanUtils 1.7.0). If 
I find the time and desire to provide the new behaviour I'll do it as new 
additional implementations (BeanUtilsBean2 / ConvertUtilsBean2) that people can 
chose to configure if they want.

BeanUtils: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=552279
Betwixt: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=552283

> The Conversion improvements associated with BEANUTILS-258 potentially create 
> compatibility issues - this was highlighted by Betwixt's tests failing 
> recently in the gump run - see http://tinyurl.com/2mxbv8 for more details.
> Quite a bit of effort has been put into making the new conversion facilities 
> as painless as possible for existing users. However it is not fully backwards 
> compatible in terms of behaviour (stiil binary compatible). Need to give this 
> some consideration before a BeanUtils release - at the moment there are two 
> options on the table (more welcome!):
> 1) The compatibility as it stands is good enough (covers most cases) - so do 
> nothing
> 2) Provide a "compatibility option" - so that users can choose either the new 
> behaviour or behaviour compatible with BeanUtils 1.7.0. This probably 
> involves quite a bit of work - adding back the old behaviour alongside the new
