That is not actually true if the data type is actually *boolean* (lower
case "b").  In that scenario, it's perfectly legal to have the getter
method start with "is" instead of "get".  The following is a legal
read-write property:
 public boolean isStarted();
 public void setStarted(boolean started);
The following is not:

 public Boolean isStarted();
 public void setStarted(Boolean started);
   

Thanks for the extra clarification.
Is the above a general rule on java or is it limited to BeanUtils?
 

BeanUtils uses standard Java introspection to identify the getter and 
setter methods for properties, and those rules are defined in the 
JavaBeans specification.  Therefore, the restriction applies to any Java 
code that wants to deal with JavaBeans properties.
