Niall Pemberton resolved BEANUTILS-369.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
BeanUtils operates according to the Java Beans Specification:
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javabeans/docs/spec.html
There is no capitalization/decapitalization done in BeanUtils - it uses the
Introspector to find the properties of a bean:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/beans/Introspector.html
Whatever you call the instance variable is irrelevant - it works out the
properties of a bean from the get/set methods you have. The Java Bean
Specification states in section "8.8 Capitalization of inferred names" that
when the first character is converted to lowercase unless the first two
characters are both uppercase then the property name is "unchanged".
So when you have a getter method named "getARatedCd" this is translated into
property name "ARatedCd" and not "aRatedCd".
So to resolve your issue you have two choices:
* use property name "ARatedCd" instead or
* change you method names to "getaRatedCd" and "setaRatedCd"
I have added a test case to demonstrate this:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/beanutils/trunk/src/test/org/apache/commons/beanutils/bugs/Jira369TestCase.java
Closing as INVALID

> Key: BEANUTILS-369
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-369
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bean / Property Utils
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2
> Environment: windows xp
> Reporter: K Lamb
>
> Using a class that has an attribute named like aRatedCd with get/set methods
> of getARatedCd() and setARatedCd(String) causes the PropertyDescriptor info
> to become name=ARatedCd. the read and write methods are found and have the
> above names. However because the name in the PropertyDescriptor has changed
> from aRatedCd to ARatedCd using the getProperty(obj, "aRatedCd") method thros
> a NoSuchMethodException.
> If the aRatedCd attribute name is changed to something like aaRatedCd and the
> methods are also changed to getAaRatedCd() and setAaRatedCd(String) then the
> NoSuchMethodException is not thrown when using the getProperty(obj,
> "aaRatedCd") call.
