[jira] Resolved: (BEANUTILS-387) [beanutils] copyProperties()
throws a ConversionException : No value specified for 'Date' when the
field is a java.util.Date with a null value
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-387?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Niall Pemberton resolved BEANUTILS-387.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Prior to BeanUtils 1.8.0 there was no converter for java.util.Date and date properties were copied unchanged - so *null* didn't cause any issue. BeanUtils 1.8.0 introduced a date converter (BEANUTILS-255), but as you discovered the default behaviour for *null* is to throw an exception. Registering a DateConverter with a default value of *null* is the correct solution to your issue.
This is working as intended, so closing this issue as WONT FIX.

> Key: BEANUTILS-387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-387
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bean / Property Utils
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Reporter: Daniel Marchese
>
> We have migrated the library from version 1.6.0 to 1.8.0 and the copyProperties() method fails when copying a java.util.Date attribute with a null value.
> Here is a simple testcase :
> {code}
> public class Test {
> private Date date;
>
> public Date getDate() { return date; }
> public void setDate(Date date) { this.date = date; }
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
> Test dest = new Test();
> Test source = new Test();
> BeanUtils.copyProperties(dest, source);
> }
> }
> {code}
> As a workaround, we can do this :
> ConvertUtils.register(new DateConverter(null), Date.class);
> When can also use PropertyUtils.copyProperties() because in this case no conversion is required but the impact is unknown on our big application.
> The problem is that there seems to be a regression between version 1.6.0 and 1.8.0.
