I think, however, that such small utility classes like the commons should really think twice before going happily into security-breaking and should document their inability to run as an applet.this issue arises since reflection in java 1.3 is badly broken. some of the workarounds rely on security breaking to work properly :(
on the other hand, this should have been written in a robust and fail-safe fashion. so, if security bending fails then the beanutils should gracefully fall back to the straight call. that way, if your JVM isn't bust, you can still use beanutils in an applet.
you're right that this does come down to testing. it should be possible to set up security that is identical to that in an applet without actually having to run in an applet, shouldn't it?
and thanks for bringing this up.
