Hi all,

Let me disturb you with another boring "RI inconsistency in beans"
–type of message. :) It seems I found a bug in RI.  In
java.beans.EventHandler. I think RI incorrectly determines properties
here. According to spec, common sense and even the RI's implementation
of java.beans.Introspector the following bean should not contain any
properties:

   public static class MyBean {
       public void setProp1() {}
   }

because "setProp1()" is not a valid setter method – it does not
contain a new value to set.
However, the following test fails on RI:

<---
import java.beans.*;

public class TestBeanInfo1 {
   public static class MyBean {
       public void setProp1() {}
   }

   public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception {
       MyBean bean = new MyBean();
       // "prop1" is neither the name of writeable property nor the
name of any public method
       Object proxy = EventHandler.create(
               PropertyChangeListener.class, bean, "prop1");

       // just to show that Introspector doesn't see the property
with name "prop1"
       PropertyDescriptor[] pds = Introspector.getBeanInfo(MyBean.class,
               Introspector.USE_ALL_BEANINFO).getPropertyDescriptors();
       for (int i = 0; i < pds.length; i++) {
           System.out.println("Property found: " + pds[i].getName());
       }

       // should throw exception
       try {
           ((PropertyChangeListener) proxy).propertyChange(
                   new PropertyChangeEvent(bean, "prop1", "1", "2"));
           System.out.println("FAIL");
       } catch (Throwable t) {
           System.out.println("PASS");
       }
   }
}
<---

So it determines "prop1" as a valid property. IMHO this behavior is
inconsistent and we should not follow RI. But I like to hear opinions
from the rest of the community.

Thanks,
