----------------------------------
> Write methods for PropertyDescriptors created during custom introspection are
> lost
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEANUTILS-456
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-456
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bean / Property Utils
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Oliver Heger
> Fix For: 1.9.1
>
>
> From version 1.9.0 on, BeanUtils allows custom introspection. This means that
> the properties of classes are supported which do not necessarily conform to
> the Java Beans specification.
> During introspection {{PropertyDescriptor}} objects are created for the
> properties detected. For properties not conforming to the Java Beans
> specification it seems that these descriptor objects are not very durable:
> The write method passed to a {{PropertyDescriptor}} is internally stored as
> {{SoftReference}} (at least in Java 1.7). If necessary, it has to be obtained
> anew when it is accessed. The code which does this contains some checks
> whether the retrieved method is compliant to the Java Beans specification. If
> not, the property's write method is set to *null*.
> Unfortunately, this has the effect that certain {{PropertyDescriptor}}
> objects created during the introspection phase are no longer usable after
> their SoftReferences have been claimed by the GC.
