[jira] [Commented] (BEANUTILS-508) BeanUtilsBean convertForCopy
does not convert null values

-------------------------------------------
It looks like this bug was introduced in version 1.9.0 when generics handling was added.

> BeanUtilsBean convertForCopy(value, type) only calls convert(value, type) for non-null 'value'. This is incorrect because null value handling should be left up to the Converter implementation. As stated in [AbstractConverter javadoc|http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-beanutils/javadocs/v1.9.3/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/converters/AbstractConverter.html]: the AbstractConverter(Object defaultValue) constructor sets the "default value to be returned if the value to be converted is missing or an error occurs converting the value."
