Problem with BeanUtils.setProperty when the name of property of Bean have on second caracter a uppercase





------- Additional Comments From y.inoue@computer.org  2004-01-10 22:49 -------
The capitalization rule of PropertyDescriptor#getName() is as follows:

If the leading two characters following set(get) prefix are capitalized,
   the leading character of a property name is also capitalized.

Otherwise, the leading character of a property name is not capitalized.

examples:

set(get)AA --> AA (aA is expected)
set(get)NAmount --> NAmount (nAmount is expected)
set(get)Aa -> aa
set(get)VcName -> vcName

I don't know whether this rule is designated for acronyms or not. Method names
conforming to Java's naming rule would not encounter this bug. But, if database
people prefer to another naming rule that needs type prefix preceding nouns,
workarounds are required.

This is my workaround. See commented lines:

import java.beans.BeanInfo;
import java.beans.Introspector;
import java.beans.PropertyDescriptor;
public class TestCapitalization {

  private String aA;
  private String aa;
  private String nAmount;
  private String vcName;

  public String getAA() {return aA;}
  public String getAa() {return aa;}
  public String getNAmount() {return nAmount;}
  public String getVcName() {return vcName;}

  public void setAA(String aA) {this.aA = aA;}
  public void setAa(String aa) {this.aa = aa;}
  public void setNAmount(String nAmount) {this.nAmount = nAmount;}
  public void setVcName(String vcName) {this.vcName = vcName;}

  /*
  workaround: The leading character not to be capitalized.
  
  public String getaA() {getAA();}
  public void setaA(String aA) {setAA(aA);}
  */

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      BeanInfo beanInfo = Introspector.getBeanInfo(TestCapitalization.class);
      PropertyDescriptor[] props = beanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors();
      for (int i=0; i < props.length; ++i) {
        System.out.println(props[i].getName());
      }
  }

}
