-------------------------------------------

I agree - I have something in-progress on this (wriiten, not yet tested)

> Add general array type conversion
> ---------------------------------
>
>          Key: BEANUTILS-242
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-242
>      Project: Commons BeanUtils
>         Type: New Feature

>     Versions: 1.7.0 Release
>     Reporter: Kenny MacLeod

>
> When using a method such as BeanUtils.copyProperty(), it would be good if it could automatically handle conversion between array types, rather than having to explicitly write an array converter for each target type.
> For example, if I pass a String[] to BeanUtils to copy on to a property of type Integer[], then it would recognise the presense of an array, and then use the registered converters for the arrays' component types to decide how to map them together.
> This would remove the need to essentially duplicate converters already written, just to add array support.
