??? Makes no sense to me. "String" is a class but "Date" is a Date? It
transates a setter into a getter?? What?
> In other words, it has two properties: "class" and "date".
> The "date" property is read-only and is accessed through the
> "getDate" method. How are you trying to set the
> "expirationDate" property on your bean?
Originally its set by a constructor, which takes a data object as an
argment. That data object is filled by reading the database. expirationDate
is filled later by using the setDate(String....) setter.
