[BeanUtils] Any similar method in BeanUtils package that does this? (Repost)

[Yansheng Lin <ya...@isogis.com>]

Hi, I have used this function more than once.  Just wondering if there is a
similar function in BeanUtils package.  I found a few close ones, but take
different parameters.  Basically I want to extract a Array String(i.e.,
String[]) from a Collection list based on the property passed in. 

Any pointers to tutorial on BeanUtils package would be really appreciated!  I
have written a lot of functions that I could use PropertyUtils in the first
place.  I believe others have done so too.  Any help?

Thanks!


    public String[] extractOpeningIdArray(
        ArrayList list,
        String property)
        throws
            IllegalAccessException,
            InvocationTargetException,
            NoSuchMethodException
    {
        if (list == null || list.size() == 0)
        {
            return null;
        }

        String[] temp = new String[list.size()];

        for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
        {
            Object bean = list.get(i);
            temp[i] = (String) PropertyUtils.getProperty(bean, property);
        }

        return temp;
    }
