http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15519 PropertyUtils.getPropertyType() for java.util.Collection [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-12-23 19:17 ------- The reason this works for arrays is that the type of each element is *required* to be the same. If you have a Collection that has mixed types in it, the return value from getPropertyType() for any particular element would only reflect the type of that element -- which would be misleading to users who then assume that this is the only type of property value supported. As a workaround, your code can certainly ascertain the type of the element itself quite easily: // Bean that has a Collection property named "coll" Object mybean = ...; Object value = PropertyUtils.getProperty(mybean, "coll[3]"); Class clazz = value.getClass(); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
