Well, the term "property" in the name of these rules is intended to refer to the definition of a JavaBean property as per the official JavaBean specification. The BeanUtils library implements that specification, so there doesn't seem to be much need for allowing the user to configure alternate implementations. If you do wish to map xml attributes to class methods in a way other than the JavaBean spec defines, you can always create your own rule, like SetRicardoPropertyRule(...) which uses some other algorithm for determining which method to invoke on an object given an xml attribute or element name. What "other binder" do you have in mind?
