-------------------------------------

I have a similar problem with PropertyUtils.getProperty() on a bean that is of 
a nested class that is private static:

import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils;

public class NestedClassTest {
        public static class PublicPerson {
                private String name;

                public String getName() {
                        return name;
                }

                public void setName(String name) {
                        this.name = name;
                }
        }

        private static class PrivatePerson {
                private String name;

                public String getName() {
                        return name;
                }

                public void setName(String name) {
                        this.name = name;
                }
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
                PublicPerson person = new PublicPerson();
                person.setName("SlowStrider");
                // Prints 'SlowStrider'
                System.out.println(PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(person, 
"name"));

                PrivatePerson person2 = new PrivatePerson();
                person.setName("SlowStrider");
                // Throws a NoSuchMethodException
                System.out.println(PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(person2, 
"name"));
        }

}

This throws the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Property 'name' has 
no getter method in class 'class NestedClassTest$PrivatePerson'
        at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean.getSimpleProperty(PropertyUtilsBean.java:1327)
        at 
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(PropertyUtils.java:611)
        at NestedClassTest.main(NestedClassTest.java:37)

Making the Person class public static solves the problem!

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Bean / Property Utils
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
>         Environment: Linux, Java 1.5
>            Reporter: Cristian Kalkhoff
>             Fix For: LATER THAN 1.8.4

> There seem to be a problem for the BeanUtils copyProperties method, if origin 
> oder destination“s class is only default visible.
> I stepped over that when I wrote a unit test, that includes two bean classes 
> with equal properties. I declared them static but not public by accident and 
> wondered why it didn“t worked. After some debugging I found it to fail while 
> checking for readable source and writeable target properties.
> See this code sample - Putting public in front of the inner classes static 
> class let it work again:
> import junit.framework.TestCase;
> public class BeanUtilsTest extends TestCase {
>     public void testCopyPropertiesObjectObject() {
>       SourceBean source = new SourceBean();
>       FullTargetBean fullTarget = new FullTargetBean();
>       BeanUtils.copyProperties(fullTarget, source);
>       assertEquals("My World!", fullTarget.getName()); // Fails since it is 
> still "Hello World!"
>     }
>     static class SourceBean {
>       private long id = 10L;
>       private String name = "My World!";
>       private Boolean fullMoon = true;
>       public long getId() {
>           return id;
>       }
>       public void setId(long id) {
>           this.id = id;
>       }
>       public String getName() {
>           return name;
>       }
>       public void setName(String name) {
>           this.name = name;
>       }
>       public Boolean getFullMoon() {
>           return fullMoon;
>       }
>       public void setFullMoon(Boolean fullMoon) {
>           this.fullMoon = fullMoon;
>       }
>     }
>     static class FullTargetBean {
