[jira] Commented: (BEANUTILS-106) Problem with BeanUtils.setProperty when the name of property of Bean have on second caracter a uppercase

["Pawel Kozlowski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-106?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12832495#action_12832495 ] 

Pawel Kozlowski commented on BEANUTILS-106:
-------------------------------------------

I believe that this issue could (and should) be fixed. The standard JDK provides methods for dealing with property names as described in this issue. Please have a look at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/beans/Introspector.html#decapitalize%28java.lang.String%29

I believe that the problem is in the and more specifically in this part of the code:

PropertyDescriptor[] descriptors = getPropertyDescriptors(bean);
        if (descriptors != null) {
            
            for (int i = 0; i < descriptors.length; i++) {
                if (name.equals(descriptors[i].getName())) {
                    return (descriptors[i]);
                }
            }
        }

That should be changed to use decapitalize method, so:

 name.equals(Introspector.html#decapitalize(descriptors[i].getName()))

Could you please re-consider opening / fixing this issue?

> I have a bean with one property hEmail. I fact the Bean have these methods
> setHEmail(String hEmail) and getHEmail().
> There is a problem with these instruction :
> BeanUtils.setProperty(bean, "hEmail", new String("dupond"));
> or 
> BeanUtils.copyProperty(bean, "hEmail", new String("dupond"));
> The property hEmail does not contain "dupond" after this instruction.
> If I check my property name with the command :
> String name =  new
> PropertyUtilsBean().getPropertyDescriptors(mainBean)[0].getName();
> The result of name is HEmail  (not hEmail)
> Info : if I change the property of bean hEmail by hemail there is also no problem.
> I fact I think there is a problem with the command
> PropertyUtilsBean().getPropertyDescriptors(mainBean), that don't return
> correctly the property of the bean when the name of property have on second
> character a uppercase.
> Version JVM : 1.4.2-b18 or 1.4.1_02-b06
> Version BeanUtils (Nightly Builds) v1.6.1 2003-10-01
> Best regards
