Unfortunately, having overloaded property getters or setters violates the
JavaBeans spec.  I would suggest changing the name of one or the other
getter to something unique.

The overloaded property is just side-tracking.
I also can't get a result out of a mapped property without a hack inside 
PropertyUtils to directly turn the returned object into a Map. This hack 
doesn't use the MappedPropertyDescriptor class otherwise I would submit 
the patch.

But in terms of the JavaBeans spec, it's all academic as I can't find it 
mentioning mapped properties.
I only tried to fix it as it was already in there.
