No, it shouldn't. BeanUtils uses the standard JavaBeans introspection logic of the JDK to determine what the legal property names are, and what the getter and setter method names are (the default is getFoo and setFoo, but that can be changed). If you have two setters with the same name (but a different parameter type), then -- by definition -- this is not a JavaBeans property so it will be ignored by BeanUtils.
