[jira] Commented: (BEANUTILS-321) [beanutils] wont recognize isXXX() properties returning Boolean Object

["James Carman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-321?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12611990#action_12611990 ] 

James Carman commented on BEANUTILS-321:
----------------------------------------

This is because the JavaBeans specification doesn't say that Boolean properties can have "is" accessor methods, only boolean properties.  See the JavaBeans specification section 8.3.2.

> it seems that an isXXX() style property returning an java.lang.Boolean Object is NOT recognized as the getter peoperty -- at least it wont copy it.
> Hence, the test case below will fail.
> I suggest to handle these props as well, as for a user of BeanUtils this was/is quite surprising to me -- and probably others.
