BeanUtils.populate() does bad conversion on DynaBean

           Summary: BeanUtils.populate() does bad conversion on DynaBean

        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other

If you have a dynaBean with a mapped property, and you try to populate a 
String into this property, the BeanUtils tries to convert the String into Map. 

Consider the following code:
--------------------------------------------
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.*;
import java.util.*;

public class BeanUtilTester {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        DynaProperty[] props = {new DynaProperty("customer", HashMap.class)};
        BasicDynaClass dClass = new BasicDynaClass("myClass",
BasicDynaBean.class ,props);
        
        DynaBean bean = dClass.newInstance();
        bean.set("customer", new HashMap());

        Map values = new HashMap();
        values.put("customer(name)", "joe");
        BeanUtils.populate(bean, values);

        System.out.println("bean : " + bean);    
    }
}
--------------------------------------------
