Hi James, thanks for keeping up with my questions. So, you mean end up with something like this: ? public class MyBean { private ClassTypeA myProperty; private ClassTypeB myPropertyAsB; private ClassTypeC myPropertyAsC; private ClassTypeD myPropertyAsD; .

Re: [beanutils] beanutils library cannot invoke the correct accessor

Re: [beanutils] beanutils library cannot invoke the correct accessor

Ok. I need some help to hack the library, where do I start. I want to make it so that it checks the available setters against the objectType of the given argument, instead of assuming an argument of a specific type. Example: BeanUtils.setProperty(myBeanInst, myProperty, instanceOfClassTypeX);
