Apologies if this is the wrong list for this. We have an extension to commons beanutils which allows us to make it work with public fields as well (and a few other improvements we needed like deep cloning). In 1.8.0-BETA it is easier to handle this extension (thanks!) but it could be even easier if there was a way to get and set the caches which are used for storing the PropertyDescriptors. Just switching the type from FastHashMap to Map and making a setter and getter which are publicly visible would be enough to reduce our the work in extending this significantly.
I can submit a patch for this if that is the better way to go about it but I thought I would see what people thought first. Would this be generally useful? Thanks -AZ P.S. If this is not worth discussing and I should just go to JIRA for this please just let me know. :-) -- Aaron Zeckoski ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Research Engineer - CARET - Cambridge University [http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/~aaronz/] Sakai Fellow - [http://aaronz-sakai.blogspot.com/] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
