[jira] [Commented] (BEANUTILS-443) PropertyUtils.setProperty(...) cannot find the Setter method if returnValue doesn't exact match the interface return value.

Harald Brabenetz commented on BEANUTILS-443:
--------------------------------------------

The Beans are correct. I only added some interfaces for a ReadOnly representation of my Beans. And all getter should return the readonly representation of the return type.
After adding the interfaces the application falling apart.
It is fixed in JDK 7.
I don't know exactly how, but org.springframework.beans.BeanUtils has solved this problem (it also solved some problems with generics)

    @Test
    public void testPropertyDescriptorJdk() throws Exception {

        final PropertyDescriptor[] propDescrs = Introspector.getBeanInfo(MyEntity.class).getPropertyDescriptors();
        final PropertyDescriptor propDescr = getPropertyDescriptor(propDescrs, "otherEntity");
        LOG.info("JDK Prop '{}' has the Type: {}", propDescr.getName(), propDescr.getPropertyType().getSimpleName());
        // this will print in JDK 6: JDK Property 'otherEntity' has the Type: OtherEntityInterface
        // this will print in JDK 7: JDK Property 'otherEntity' has the Type: OtherEntity
    }

    @Test
    public void testPropertyDescriptorSpringBeans() throws Exception {
        final PropertyDescriptor[] propDescrs = org.springframework.beans.BeanUtils.getPropertyDescriptors(MyEntity.class);
        final PropertyDescriptor propDescr = getPropertyDescriptor(propDescrs, "otherEntity");
        LOG.info("Spring Prop '{}' has the Type: {}", //
                propDescr.getName(), propDescr.getPropertyType().getSimpleName());
        // this will print in JDK 6 and 7: Spring Property 'otherEntity' has the Type: OtherEntity
    }

    private static PropertyDescriptor getPropertyDescriptor(final PropertyDescriptor[] propDescrs,
            final String property) {
        for (final PropertyDescriptor propDescr : propDescrs) {
            if (propDescr.getName().equals(property)) {
                return propDescr;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
{code}
