[jira] Commented: (BEANUTILS-349) copyProperties throws NullPointerException if an IllegalArgumentException is thrown due to a null value parameter for a primitive

Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-349:
-------------------------------------------

I found when testing with JDK 1.3 and 1.4 that Method.invoke() throws a NullPointerException if a value is null for a primitive parameter (whereas JDK 1.5+ throws an IllegalArgumentException) - so I have made an additional change so that BeanUtils works the same way whatever the JDK version:

> When using copyProperties from a bean with a Boolean field to a bean with a corresponding boolean field (i.e. a primitive), an IllegalArgumentException is thrown when calling method.invoke.  invokeMethod tries to format a user friendly exception string, but fails to check if the value parameter is null before getting it's classname.
