Oliver Heger updated BEANUTILS-425:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: beanutils-425.patch
This patch extracts bean introspection from {{PropertyUtilsBean}}. A new
{{BeanIntrospector}} interface is introduced which is now responsible for
scanning a Class and determining {{PropertyDescriptor}} objects for it. The
original introspection mechanism has been moved into a new class
{{DefaultBeanIntrospector}} implementing the {{BeanIntrospector}} interface.
Methods have been added to add and remove {{BeanIntrospector}} objects to and
from {{PropertyUtilsBean}}. So introspection can now be customized.
> Support customization of introspection mechanism

> Project: Commons BeanUtils

>
> So far BeanUtils can cope with properties conforming to the Java Beans
> specification. In some situations it makes sense to relax this requirement
> and allow the detection of other forms of get and set methods as well.
> For instance, fluent APIs have become popular. Here you have a set method
> which does not return *void* and thus violates the Java Beans specification.
> Objects using such an API cannot be dealt with by BeanUtils currently.
> For reasons of backwards compatibility the current behavior should remain the
> default. But it would be cool if there was an option to set a custom
> introspection policy. The policy would be invoked during property discovery
> and can decide which properties to include or not.
