[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-627) BeanHelper exception on XMLConfiguration builder.getConfiguration()

["Gerry Matte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-627?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15401437#comment-15401437 ] 

Gerry Matte commented on CONFIGURATION-627:
-------------------------------------------

I used to be a government worker before I retired.  We were often accused of "passing the buck" to someone else and then calling the job done.  I always resented that accusation and so I have to protest this JIRA being flagged as "Resolved".

This JIRA accurately describes a problem that prevents XMLConfiguration builder.getConfiguration() from executing.  Deciding that the problem is caused by an error in Bean Utils (JIRA BEANUTILS-477 which in turn passes the buck to BEANUTILS-492) does not resolve the original issue.

If you had even identified a work around for the problem there might be justification for flagging it as resolved.

IMHOP you should return this JIRA to status "Open" until a fix or a work-around is identified and the issue successfully passes testing.
