I thought I would do a bit of research to "help out". I may be wrong about all of this (because I am just an egg/noob) but here is my go at the situation. It will never find the correct method "today" because PropertyUtils does not check the Type of the value. In PropertyUtils the Type of the value is not passed to getPropertyDescriptor (line 1775), which would then do the match up on line 890. I am not sure that those are the only places that Type would need to be checked, but as I read the code from CVS, I think this is what would need to be fixed.
