[jira] Commented: (BEANUTILS-312) Expose the caches in PropertyBeanUtils so they can be controlled if needed

["Niall Pemberton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12594865#action_12594865 ] 

Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-312:
-------------------------------------------

I will review this properly when I get time - but from a quick peek the problem for 1.8.0 is going to be the API changes - since we're aiming for binary compatibility with BeanUtils 1.7.0 for the next release

> We have an extension to commons beanutils which allows us to make it
> work with public fields as well (and a few other improvements we
> needed like deep cloning). In 1.8.0-BETA it is easier to handle this
> extension (thanks!) but it could be even easier if there was a way to
> get and set the caches which are used for storing the
> PropertyDescriptors. Just switching the type from FastHashMap to Map
> and making a setter and getter which are publicly visible would be
> enough to reduce our the work in extending this significantly.
> The attached patch exposes the caches in PropertyBeanUtils and sets them to be Map instead of FastHashMap. This also involves a change to PropertyUtils (also changing FastHashMap to Map). The patch is fairly small and was built again the trunk.
