http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13743 Need getPropertyType(Class theClass, String propName) Summary: Need getPropertyType(Class theClass, String propName) Product: Commons Version: 2.1 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Bean Utilities AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've developed a small bean based TableModel, that I use to display list of beans in JTables. It works nicely as long as I don't need to display a nested property in the columns, thats why: the getColumnClass method passes only a columnIndex information and wants the Class of that column. If I use the getPropertyDescriptors I would need a lot of extra code to understand that a property is a nested one, load the correspondend class, and so on (and I think that this code is the job of BeanUtils), if I create a new istance of the class with Class.newIstance the dependent object are set to null and getPropertyType fails... So I think that it would be nice to complete the functionality of the PropertyUtils class with a getPropertyType(Class theClass, String propName) with the ability to handle also nested properties... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:commons-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:commons-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
