Eric Westfall commented on BEANUTILS-340:
-----------------------------------------
I'm curious about the possibility of getting this updated in the 1.8.4 release
as well (whenever that happens to be planned). At the moment we've had to
create our own patched version of commons-beanutils and use that throughout our
various projects:
http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|org.kuali.commons|commons-beanutils|1.8.3-kuali|jar
If I'm reading it correctly, the last release of beanutils that I see is from
March of 2010. Is this project still active?

> PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptors is returning the wrong readMethod (and
> thus the wrong property type) when a method is implemented from a genericized
> interface, but only on some environments. This seems to work on Windows, but
> fails on Linux. (Compile environment does not matter, runtime environment
> does seem to matter.)
> Take the following test class:
> {code}
> public class Testing
> {
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
> {
> for(PropertyDescriptor desc :
> PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptors(Test2.class))
> {
> if(desc.getName().equals("something"))
> {
> System.out.println(desc.getName() + "\t" +
> desc.getPropertyType() + "\t" + desc.getReadMethod() + "\t" +
> desc.getReadMethod().isSynthetic() + "\t" + desc.getReadMethod().isBridge());
> }
> }
> }
>
> // An interface with generics, and with getter and setter defined
> 'generically'.
> public static interface Test<T extends Number>
> {
> public T getSomething();
>
> public void setSomething(T something);
> }
>
> // A concrete class using a specific genericization of the interface
> (Long), with getter and setter implemented appropriately.
> public static class Test2 implements Test<Long>
> {
> public Long getSomething()
> {
> return(null);
> }
>
> public void setSomething(Long something)
> {
>
> }
> }
> }
> {code}
> When run on Windows XP, and working correctly, this prints:
> something class java.lang.Long public java.lang.Long
> Testing$Test2.getSomething() false false
> indicating that it got the 'long' version of the method, and that this method
> is NOT synthetic or a bridge method.
> However, when run on Linux, this prints:
> something class java.lang.Number public volatile java.lang.Number
> Testing$Test2.getSomething() true true
> which is the signature from the interface, and is marked with both synthetic
> and bridge, indicating that this is not the 'real' method, but the
> compiler-created method due to generics.
> I think that it should be ignoring the 'synthetic/bridge' method auto-created
> by the compiler, but I'm not sure why it is environment-dependent. Perhaps
> the environment somehow controls the method definition order? (At runtime,
> not compile time, obviously.)
