If you are overloading getters and setters today, and you're using BeanUtils and PropertyUtils mechanisms to call them (which is what Struts does when dealing with form beans) , it should not be working now. If you're using introspection to directly pick a Method to call, and bypassing the PropertyDescriptors, then you are not subject to the design pattern restrictions on method names -- none of that is relevant since you are not treating them as properties. But you would also be confusing everybody else on this mailing list who is going to assume (like I did) that you're talking about using the standard reflection mechanisms for JavaBeans *properties*. > Edgar > Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
