Whoa, yes—that’s true. I haven’t hit the issue, probably because I’m using WO which uses Apple’s KVC rather than beanystuff to access and modify object data. And I believe Cayenne is using the correct methods to access bean data in some cases, since creating BeanInfo classes eliminated errors I was previously encountering (eg. when sorting lists of DataObjects).
But yes, as you point out, PropertyUtils.getProperty() fails for all of my properties since BeanAccessor hardcodes the get-prefix. We should probably fix Cayenne to comply with the JavaBeans spec in this regard. - hugi > On 17. apr. 2016, at 17:00, David Feshbach <djfeshb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I think that will break PropertyUtils/BeanAccessor.
