Niall,
Thanx for the help. I did following as a work around:
PropertyUtils.getWriteMethod(PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptor(this,
propertyName)).invoke(this, new Object[]{null});
Regards,

If you don't want "conversion" then you can use
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setProperty() method - but the
"value" object has to be the correct type (or null).
For PropertyUtils see: http://tinyurl.com/yf9f6wk
BeanUtils adds conversion to PropertyUtils - it tries to convert the value
you specified to the correct type of the the bean's property.
These converters have behaviour defined on how to handle "null" values and
operate in two modes:
- throw an exception
- use a default value
The default set of converters which are "registered" with BeanUtils have a
default value specified - so for example the converter registered for
Integer types has a default value of zero. This is why you can't set a
"null" value at the moment. If you want null values to be set then you need
to register converter implementations for those types with a default value
of null. So for example you would do something like...
ConvertUtils.register(new IntegerConverter(null), Integer.class);
ConvertUtils.register(new DoubleConverter(null), Double.class);
(Note: the "null" value in the constructors is the default value)
