beanutils copy to ignore null properties
I have Bean Test
with properties A and B
An instance of Test TestA has value for A and B is null.
another intance of Test TestB has value for B and A is null .
now when I call copyProperties BeanUtils.copyProperties(TestA, TestB)
TestA
property A will get null
and Propetrty B will be B
instead I want beanUtils to update TestA just by copying non null
properties is it possible ?

This isn't provided by BeanUtils, but you could use BeanUtils to build
this kind of *merge" functionality.
