----------------------------------------
Summary: Indexed List Setters no longer work
Key: BEANUTILS-465
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-465
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
Affects Versions: 1.9.2
Reporter: Daniel Atallah
After upgrading to commons-beanutils 1.9.2 from 1.8.3, I ran into a bug where
indexed List setters no longer work.
Per the documentation at:
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-beanutils/javadocs/v1.9.2/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/package-summary.html
" As an extension to the JavaBeans specification, the BeanUtils package
considers any property whose underlying data type is java.util.List (or an
implementation of List) to be indexed as well."
This no longer appears to be an accurate statement.
The cause appears to be more strict validation in both
org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.StringConverter.convertToType() and in
org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.AbstractConverter.
There is now an explicit cast to the target type, which throws an Exception
instead of the previous behavior of simply returning the input value
unconverted.
I'll attach a test case that works with 1.8.3, but no longer works with 1.9.2.
