BeanUtils.populate() not transferring values to bean

[Jonathan M Crater <jo...@fanniemae.com>]

when i run the following test class with the org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils
class the output is null across the board.  when i run the same test with
org.apache.struts.util.BeanUtils all the values are transferred from the Map.
anybody have a similar issue?  anybody have an explanation?
