------- Additional Comments From craig.mcclanahan@sun.com  2002-06-15 21:26 -------
Overloading setter methods violates the JavaBeans design pattern rules, which
therefore causes the Java introspection (used by BeanUtils and PropertyUtils
underneath the covers) to not recognize that this property has a setter method
at all.  That is why it worked when you removed one of them.

You will note that TestBean uses two different property names ("stringArray" and
"stringIndexed") for performing these tests.  Because there is no overloading of
setter method names, the kind of assignment you are talking about works fine.
