Alexandre Castro Alves commented on BEANUTILS-278:
--------------------------------------------------

Is this still being planned?

I am running into a class-loading problem in an OSGi environment because of the 
duplicate FastHashMap. In my case, other bundles are importing the FastHashMap 
from commons.collection and passing it along as an argument to beanutils, which 
then collides with the internal copy of the FasthHashMap.

Can we please take a look at this with some urgency?

You should either import as well from commons.collections or rely only on 
Map/HashMap, as in the proposed patch.

Thanks
Alex

> The following 4 Commons Collections classes were copied into BeanUtils so

>     ArrayStack.java
>     Buffer.java
>     BufferUnderflowException.java
>     FastHashMap.java

> Of the above four classes only FastHashMap is used within BeanUtils (and is 
> part of the public API) - not sure why the other classes were included, but 
> it may be because downstream systems such as Struts depend on them (which 
> also removed its Commons Collections when it moved to BeanUtils 1.7.0). Some 
> (but not all) of the BeanUtils public API which exposes FastHashMap was 
> deprecated in the BeanUtils 1.7.0 release.
