Daniel Atallah updated BEANUTILS-465:
-------------------------------------
    Attachment: BeanUtilsTest.java

The attached test case throws the following Exception in 1.9.2:
{noformat}

> After upgrading to commons-beanutils 1.9.2 from 1.8.3, I ran into a bug where indexed List setters no longer work.
> Per the documentation at:
> http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-beanutils/javadocs/v1.9.2/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/package-summary.html
> " As an extension to the JavaBeans specification, the BeanUtils package considers any property whose underlying data type is java.util.List (or an implementation of List) to be indexed as well."
> This no longer appears to be an accurate statement.
> The cause appears to be more strict validation in both org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.StringConverter.convertToType() and in org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.AbstractConverter.
> There is now an explicit cast to the target type, which throws an Exception instead of the previous behavior of simply returning the input value unconverted.
> I'll attach a test case that works with 1.8.3, but no longer works with 1.9.2.
