the set methods from the child class, cause they're defined in the parent class
(Component). The temporary solution I had was defining those set methods in the child
classes, and have them call the super methods. But that seems to defeat the whole
purpose of inheritance. Here's an example with the problem:

Do you have any beaninfo classes coded/generated for ChildClass?

ChildClass, and yet, it doesn't know to look its parent class, Component.
