Hi,
The reason that this feature isn't present in SetPropertiesRule is that
SetPropertiesRule just builds a map of (attrname,attrvalue) pairs then
calls BeanUtils.populate(...), and BeanUtils.populate doesn't support
reporting an error if a map entry has no matching setter method.
I think to add this you will need to modify the beanutils library. From
a brief look, BeanUtils.populate calls BeanUtils.setProperty for each
map entry, but BeanUtils.setProperty has this code:
try {
descriptor =
PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptor(target, name);
if (descriptor == null) {
return; // Skip this property setter
}
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
return; // Skip this property setter
}
So if no setter method is found, the property is just ignored.
NB: Robert, would you mind using bottom-posting instead of top-posting?
I wanted to comment on bits of both Gabriele's and your mail, but when
someone has already top-posted a reply it is hard to do that.
Cheers,
Simon
