RE: [BeanUtils] Introspection and Enums
Sorry to everyone again, but does anyone know whether this is possible?
Thanks,

Hi,
What I want to do is to populate an object which has a number of simple set
methods taking String, ints etc.
It also has a setStatus(JournalStatusEnum) method which takes an object of a
specific class: in this case a JournalStatusEnum.
The JournalStatusEnum has a private constructor and holds a singleton
instance of each of the different possible status values. These instances
are got using the getInstance(String) method.
I'm encoding this in the source property name as "status.instance", but it
is causing a problem:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null property value for 'status'

org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptor(PropertyUti

I'm not actually sure whether this is possible, as I can't find details of
introspection which takes this form.
Any suggestions would be very useful,
Thanks in advance for your help,
Chris

hi chris
(i'm not totally sure i understand your problem completely so you might
need to set me straight if i've got it wrong.)
one possible reason for this is that your bean is not compliant with the
java beans specification (in particular, the getter and setter must have
matching types).
if your bean is complaint then i suspect the problem is with your use of
the expression language. what would help me is posting the beanutils trace
logging and a fuller example of what you're doing.
