Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-349:
-------------------------------------------
I found when testing with JDK 1.3 and 1.4 that Method.invoke() throws a
NullPointerException if a value is null for a primitive parameter (whereas JDK
1.5+ throws an IllegalArgumentException) - so I have made an additional change
so that BeanUtils works the same way whatever the JDK version:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=822777
> copyProperties throws NullPointerException if an IllegalArgumentException is
> thrown due to a null value parameter for a primitive

> When using copyProperties from a bean with a Boolean field to a bean with a
> corresponding boolean field (i.e. a primitive), an IllegalArgumentException
> is thrown when calling method.invoke. invokeMethod tries to format a user
> friendly exception string, but fails to check if the value parameter is null
> before getting it's classname.
