Hi; I had written to the -user list about this subject a couple of days ago, and Henri Yandell expressed some interest, so I'll carry the nascent thread over here.
I have a weird requirement at my real job related to Java bean graphs. For reasons that owe much more to bad web services design than anything else, I find I need to take two Java bean graphs--one which started out as a clone of the other--and extract in some fashion only those paths that reflect how the second graph differs from the first. Think of the diff program applied to Java beans: the output, or a derivative of that output, would describe only what modifications would need to be made to the first graph to make it become the second graph. I figured that this would make an interesting add-on to BeanUtils. There also seem to be some JXPath-ish bits in here. Is there interest in the BeanUtils/commons community for such a facility?
