----------------------------------

    Fix Version: 1.2
     Resolution: Fixed
      Assign To: Niall Pemberton

Thanks for the patch - I applied a slight variation on what you suggested since removing the calls to the "eliminate" method means that there will always be a pd array of at least 2  and your implementation resulted in unnecessarily creating an empty Map when there were no properties.

> Noted that iteration through pd[] array thrice: twice to eliminate() the "empty" and "class" entries, and lastly to add each remaining entry to the descriptors map. The first two iterations each include costly array copies.
> Guessed that two if name.equals checks in the third iteration would tend to be much quicker (especially for Beans with many properties). Did some quick performance checks to verify that this is the case - it's enough of a change to warrant a small refactor.
> Here's a revised initialize(). You can thus remove the eliminate() method...
>         // Retrieve the set of property descriptors for this Context class
>         try {
>             pd = Introspector.getBeanInfo
>                 (getClass()).getPropertyDescriptors();
>         } catch (IntrospectionException e) {
>             pd = new PropertyDescriptor[0]; // Should never happen
>         }
>         // Initialize the underlying Map contents
>         if (pd.length > 0) {
>             descriptors = new HashMap();
>             for (int i = 0; i < pd.length; i++) {
>             	String name = pd[i].getName();
>             	if ("class".equals(name) || "empty".equals(name)) {
>             		// skip getClass() and isEmpty();
>             	}
>             	else {
>                     descriptors.put(name, pd[i]);
>                     super.put(name, singleton);          		
>             	}
>             }
>         }
>     }
