Niall Pemberton resolved BEANUTILS-298.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Niall Pemberton

Thanks for reporting this. Unfortunately in this scenario there is no fix for MethodUtils.getAccessibleMethod(Method) - since it can only check superclasses/interfaces of the class returned by Method.getDeclaringClass(). In your scenario the declaring class is BaseX and therefore the interface IX is not available. So I have added a new MethodUtils.getAccessibleMethod(Class, Method) method which can be used instead. I have changed PropertyUtils to use this new method so that now your PropertyUtils.getProperty(beanOfTypeBaseX, "name")  works:

Closing this as fixed.

> Let assume follows:
> public interface IX {
>   getName();
> }
> class BaseX {
>   public getName();
> }
> class ImplX  extends BaseX implements IX {
> }
> For some reason I do not want that BaseX implements IX, but if we have a bean of type ImplX we can call getName().
> PropertyUtils.getProperty(beanOfTypeBaseX, "name") could not get the value, because the method MethodUtils.getAccessibleMethod(Method method)  looks up only throunght supercalsses and interfaces of implementing class but not the subclasses and interfaces that they implement!
> So PropertyUtils.getProperty(beanOfTypeBaseX, "name") throws an Exception that the method is not accessible, but at the same time I can call beanOfTypeBaseX.getName()
