Benedikt Ritter commented on BEANUTILS-425:
-------------------------------------------
Hi Oliver,
I've had a look at your patch. The following things should IMHO be changed
before applying:
* Rename IntrospectionContextImpl to DefaltIntrospectionContext
* Rename IntrospectionContext.getCurrentClass() to getClass()
* Add generics
* Add unit tests for DefaultBeanIntrospector
What I like very much is, that we can externalize the bug fix for bugzilla
28358 into a separate object. BeanUtils has the problem that to much is going
on in some of its methods.

> 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.
