>          Components: Classlib
>    Affects Versions: 5.0M6

> Given the following scenario,
> public class TInspectorCluster {
> 	public interface Ancestor {
> 	}
> 	public interface Offspring extends Ancestor {
> 	}
> 	public interface Visitor<T> {
> 		public T visit(Ancestor o);
> 	}
> 	public static class StringInspector implements Visitor<String> {
> 		public String visit(Ancestor o) {
> 			System.out.println("Got the ancestor method")
> 			return null;
> 		}
> 		public String visit(Offspring o) {
> 			System.out.println("Got the offspring method")
> 			return null;
> 		}
> 	}
> }
> define the test as:
> public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>         Ancestor ancestor = new Ancestor() {
>         };
>         new Statement(new StringInspector(), "visit", new Object[] { cat })
>                 .execute();
> }
> then it throws 
> java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Cannot decide which method to call to match visit
> 	at java.beans.Statement.findMethod(Statement.java:376)
> 	at java.beans.Statement.invokeMethod(Statement.java:218)
> 	at java.beans.Statement.execute(Statement.java:18)
> I think the problem is caused by the java.beans.Statement.findMethod().
> If the target class has two candidate methods which have the identical signature (difference equals to zero) but different return type, it will throws this kind of exception.
> Thus, I think the cure is to insert a routine check of their return types. If they have the same return type, then throw the NoSuchMethodException.
> If not, check whether they are assignable to each other and reflect the specific one.
