BeanUtilsBean.setProperty throws IllegalArgumentException if value is null
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-339
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-339
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Bean / Property Utils
Affects Versions: 1.8.0-BETA
Reporter: Alan Escreet
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.8.0-BETA
Line 1003-1004 conflicts with API doc: "If null is passed into a property
expecting a primitive value, then this will be converted as if it were a null
string."
Line 1003 only tests if the value is null and 1004 explicitly casts to a
String. If a bean has a field of any other type, i.e. java.util.Comparator,
then this fails with:
{{java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot invoke <myBean>.setComparator on
bean class 'class <myBean>' - argument type mismatch - had objects of type
"java.lang.String" but expected signature "java.util.Comparator"}}
