I was wrong in stating that "Browsers don't allways send a content
type header..." etc. The simple case is that we have a HTTP GET
request there: if there is no content, theres is no content type,
either. So, the referenced code at BeanUtils.populate:634 is simply
buggy, it must test if content type header was null.

Etc. Browsers don't allways send a content type header. The referred line
check with 'request.getContentType( ).startsWith( "..." )' /it's from heart,
I don't have the code at hand/. I don't know that tomcat should set the
content type or not if the browser doesn't set one - but this code is not
safe, anyway.                                                       incze

Etc. Browsers don't allways send a content type header. The referred line
check with 'request.getContentType( ).startsWith( "..." )' /it's from heart,
I don't have the code at hand/. I don't know that tomcat should set the
content type or not if the browser doesn't set one - but this code is not
safe, anyway.                                                       incze
