Benedikt Ritter commented on BEANUTILS-416:
-------------------------------------------
I've found out, that BeanUtils is not affected directly by this issue. Although
BeanUtils uses WeakReferences for cached values, there is code to prevent null
pointers. For example:
{code:java}
Method method = getCachedMethod(md);
if (method != null) {
return method;
}
{code}
I'd say that using WeakReferences for cached values in a WeakHashMap is broken,
but since the code is backed up against NPEs, I'm fine if this issue is
resolved as won't fix, since no failures are to be expected.
