[jira] [Created] (BEANUTILS-424) Allow filtering the properties to be copied

Oliver Heger created BEANUTILS-424:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow filtering the properties to be copied
                 Key: BEANUTILS-424
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-424
             Project: Commons BeanUtils
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Bean / Property Utils
    Affects Versions: 1.8.3
            Reporter: Oliver Heger
            Priority: Minor


The method {{PropertyUtilsBean.copyProperties()}} allows copying all properties from a source bean to a target bean. There are use cases when only a subset of the properties available should be taken into account. It would be nice if there was an overloaded method accepting additional parameters to limit the set of properties that will be copied.

A pretty generic solution could define a typical filter interface, e.g. {{PropertyFilter}}. Then we can provide some default implementations, for instance inclusion or exclusion filters based on property names.
