------- Additional Comments From craig.mcclanahan@sun.com  2003-08-16 22:55 -------
The reason this happens is that java.beans.Introspector follows a "BeanInfo
search path" in order to locate any BeanInfo class that corresponds to a bean,
before examining the bean class itself.  The default BeanInfo search path
includes a package that defines BeanInfo for a class called Component, so this
BeanInfo is used for any user class that is also named Component.

It would be unreasonable for commons-beanutils to make any changes in the
BeanInfo search path that has been set.  Therefore, you shoud work around this
issue by calling Introspector.setBeanInfoSearchPath() with a list of packages
that does not include the standard one (I'd suggest using a zero-length String
array so that *no* searching is done), before calling any BeanUtils methods.

See the Javadocs for java.beans.Introspector, and the JavaBeans spec, for more
information.
