-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

displaytag 1.1 will feature major changes, ant we also upgraded the 
commons-lang dependency for jdk 1.5 issues. Treating any NullPointerException 
like a NestedNullException is also not really good (you can loose any NPE 
thrown by your list objects), so I am closing the issuea as a wont fix.

> I was using displaytag-1.0 and decided that I needed to use the improved 
> comparators in displaytag-1.1 to sort numbers and dates.  When I grabbed HEAD 
> for displaytag-1.1 and updated my webapp's JAR file, it started to complain 
> of two incompatibilities in commons-beanutils.  displaytag-1.1 uses 
> ConvertUtilsBean and NestedNullException from beanutils-1.7.0, and both of 
> these are new to that specific version of beanutils.
> I'd like to request that you reduce your version dependency on 
> commons-beanutils to 1.6.1 to ease the upgrade path for people who want to 
> upgrade displaytags-1.0 to displaytags-1.1 in-place without updating other 
> dependencies.  I would normally just update commons-beanutils to the latest 
> version, but it happens to be used by other dependencies (hibernate, etc.), 
> and changing that dependency introduces more risk into the upgrade for 
> displaytag-1.1.  
> I hope you give this some consideration, I know it seems counterintuitive, 
> but the same thing can be achieved with beanutils-1.6.1, and you won't force 
> people to upgrade other dependencies.  And, thanks.
