http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32653 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-12-13 02:06 ------- No, I am not proposing changing the order. I don't know why that would break previous uses and would be interested to know. Apparently you are thinking of classes that are both a Map and an ActionForm and are currently used as a Map? That seems very *unusual* to me. I am just proposing to improve beanutils, if possible. There could be many, many solutions without breaking backward compatibility. I don't know why you seem to begin with thinking it is not possible. I cannot see your thought process here. If we, for example, went from: if(bean instanceof DynaBean) { // use DynaBean get/set methods } else if (bean instanceof Map) { // use Map get/put methods } else { // treat as JavaBean and use introspection to // acquire the property getter and setter methods } to: if(bean instanceof SomeInterface) { // treat as JavaBean and use introspection to // acquire the property getter and setter methods } else if(bean instanceof DynaBean) { // use DynaBean get/set methods } else if (bean instanceof Map) { // use Map get/put methods } else { // treat as JavaBean and use introspection to // acquire the property getter and setter methods } I have no problem with scratching my own itches. I can look into solutions as long as the problem is not tossed as impossible. There should be a number to propose to the committers. I have also used the property solution in the past. I need the class to be a Map to do what I want to do. I am looking forward to when the ActionForm is freed from its present bondage, which I understand you support as well. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
