> getAccessibleMethod returns null when method is declared in a package-private

> Components: Bean / Property Utils
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Environment: Probably not relevant here, but I use IBM Websphere

> Given two classes : A, which is package-private, and B which extends A and is
> public. You might then access all methods declared in A from any instance of
> B anywhere, even outside of the package containing A.
> But PropertyUtils.setProperty fails if the property accessed is not
> overloaded in B.
> Fact is in my use case it appears unrelevant for users of B to knoy about A,
> and it is definitely undesireable to use references declared as A from
> anywhere outside the package.
> PropertyUtils shoud in my opinion check wether the effective class of the
> bean is public and that the accessor method is also public instead of looking
> for a public method declared in a public class or interface.
> This might not conform to JavaBean specifications, though, but this change
> would not cost a lot, and would definitely get things a little more flexible.
