BeanTypeInfo does not ignore synthetic (bridge) methods to determine property
types
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-2417
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2417
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Aegis Databinding
Affects Versions: 2.2.3
Reporter: Fried Hoeben
I have a bean that implements a generic interface that defines a property that
uses the generic type, in the bean the generic type is bound to String.
When BeanTypeInfo determines the property descriptor of that property it
(sometimes) does not detect that the type of the property is String, but
instead it thinks it is object.
This is because of the use of the Introspector class in BeanTypeInfo. This
class has a bug (http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6528714) that means
that sometimes property descriptors are returned that use information of
synthetic bridge methods instead of the actual methods defined in the beans
code.
The Spring framework has some code (GenericTypeAwarePropertyDescriptor) that
works around this problem so their BeanUtils does return the correct property
descriptors. Furthermore the comments in their implementation suggests that
Introspector is also a source of memory leaks.
