Good thought.

I honestly started to prefer much more compact and less explicit (and verbose) sentences, like {{on( myBean ).set( "propertyName" ).with( valueObject )}}, (that involves actual APIs change) so {{on( myBean ).isReadble( "propertyName" )}} is my preferred on.

Anyway,

{code}
if ( on( myBean ).isWritable( "propertyName" )
{
    on( myBean ).set( "propertyName" ).with( "This is a String value!" );
}
{code}

looks less functional and redundant, we could move to a new option, something like (more or less):

{code}
ifIsWritable( "propertyName" ).on( myBean ).set( "This is a String value!" );
{code}

> Currently there is no possibility to find out, if a property is readable and/or writable.
> For example, one has to pass a value to {{setProperty(name).withValue(argument)}} and hope, that the property is writeable (because a {{NoSucheMethodExcpetion}} will be thrown, if it is not). For this reason it would be nice, if one could do something like:
> {code:java}
> if (on(myBean).isWritable("writeableProperty") {
>     on(myBean).setProperty("writableProperty").withValue("This is a String value!");
> }
> {code}
> Solution:
> * Add {{public boolean isWritable(String propertyName)}} and {{public boolean isReadable(String propertyName)}} to {{BeanAccessor}}.
> * in {{isWritable()}} check if a {{PropertyDescriptor}} can be obtained from PropertyRegistry (if not, throw {{NoSuchMethodException}}).
> ** if so, return true, if {{propertyDescriptor.getWriteMethod() != null}} and false otherwise.
> * in {{isReadable()}} check if a {{PropertyDescriptor}} can be obtained from PropertyRegistry (if not, throw {{NoSuchMethodException}}).
> ** if so, return true, if {{propertyDescriptor.getReadMethod() != null}} and false otherwise.
