Next question :) Because it's related to what I'm doing with the first, I
figured go with the same thread...
I have an instance of the Test class, which contains the following:
private List children;
public void setChildren(final List inChildren) {
children = inChildren;
}
public List getChildren() {
return children;
}
Then, in a class trying to populate this, I have:
Object obj = new Test();
List fieldValues = new ArrayList();
fieldValues.add("test");
PropertyUtils.setIndexedProperty(obj, "children", fieldValues);
When I try it, I get:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid indexed property 'children'
Not sure what's going on... since this is the version of
setIndexedProperty() without the index, I assume it's going to call
setChildren(List) and not be looking for the setter with the index,
correct? Thanks!
Correct. It's a limitation of BeanUtils that it does not try to use the
"indexed" setters if they exist. It only deals with the actual List or
array property as a whole.
