Claus unfortunatly the iterator being returned there has got exactly the same bug marked with a TODO!
See ObjectHelper lines 516..519 } else if (value.getClass().isArray()) { // TODO we should handle primitive array types? List list = Arrays.asList((Object[])value); return list.iterator(); IMHO a possible solution would be to grap into the array content (e.g. array[0] if it's size > 0) and check for e.g.: (array[0] != null && array[0].getClass().isPrimitive()) Or something like that, e.g. byte.class.isPrimitive() returns true.
