MethodsUtils.invokeMethod() signature resolution is static for non-primitive types

           Summary: MethodsUtils.invokeMethod() signature resolution is
                    static for non-primitive types
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Bean Utilities
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: analogue@yahoo.com


Given:




public class A


{


  public void foo(OutputStream os)


  {


      System.out.println("foo called");


  }


}




public class Invoker


{


    public static void main(String args[])


    {


        OutputStream os = new PrintStream(System.out);  // Base class


        PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(System.out);     // Super class




        // This invocation resolves to method foo correctly


        MethodUtils.invokeMethod(new A(), "foo", os);




        // This invocation results in method not found. 


        // Would be nice if the method resolution process would


        // take into account class hierarchy and applicability


        // as a convenience so developer can be lazy :)


        MethodUtils.invokeMethod(new A(), "foo", ps);


    }


}
