copyProperties method should not exit as soon as it gets Exception

           Summary: copyProperties method should not exit as soon as it gets
                    Exception

          Priority: Other

The copyProperties method in BeanUtils.java currently has trouble with EJBs
because it exits as soon as an Exception is raised (often a
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException).

Rather than exiting the method and throwing the Exception to the caller, the
method should give a choice to swallow the exception for this field and move on
to attempting the next field.

This is trivial at the coding stage, requiring just a try/catch block inside the
'for' loop. Perhaps more tricky is designing the API to cope with this behavior
whilst retaining backwards compatibility.
