You are right about that. The only problem is that the second style
doesn't work on kaffe ( probably not a big problem for us,
Solaris/Linux.i386/AIX/Windows  users).

And we have to use Class.getMethod for non-property setters. The Bean API
might be a bit heavy for our modest use of introspection, but I agree it
is the "right" way.
