One of the main reasons that people are trying to use BeanUtils.setProperty() instead of BeanUtils.copyProperty() -- despite the warning in the Javadocs not to -- is that the former makes some effort to deal with nested and indexed properties, while the latter doesn't at the moment. And Tim was kind enough to offer not only a patch but some test cases as well. I can commit to looking at this tonight (Pacific time), unless Robert beats me to it. But I'd really like to include this in 1.6.1 if we can. (Struts is under the same sort of time pressure as Maven with respect to wanting a released version of beanutils.) > - robert Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
