NoSuchMethodException for public method of nonpublic class

[Andriy Kharchuk]

Hello,

I use library BeanUtils v 1.7.0. NoSuchMethodException is thrown when public
property of non public class is accessed.
This happens because the following check fails in getAccessibleMethod(Method
method) of MethodUtils class:

       // If the declaring class is public, we are done
       Class clazz = method.getDeclaringClass();
       if (Modifier.isPublic(clazz.getModifiers())) {
           return (method);
       }

The code below can be used for tests. Is this the way framework is expected
to work?

public class Main {

   public static void main(String... args) {
       ABean abean = new ABean();
       try {
           System.out.println(PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(abean,
"name"));
       } catch (Exception e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
   }

   static class ABean {
       private String name;

       public String getName() {
           return name;
       }

       public void setName(String name) {
           this.name = name;
       }
   }
}

Thanks,
Andriy
