Hi,
would it be possible to make the usage of the descriptorCache in PropertyUtils optional, e.g. having something like
PropertyUtils.java
....
private static boolean useCache = true;
public static void setUseCache(boolean cacheFlag) {
useCache = cacheFlag;
}
....
public static PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors(Object bean) {
.....
if (useCache) {
descriptors =
(PropertyDescriptor[]) descriptorsCache.get(beanClassName);
if (descriptors != null && false)
return (descriptors);
}
....
if (useCache)
descriptorsCache.put(beanClassName, descriptors);
The reason for that request is that I have several entity EJBs with the same type (= same classes) but with different deployment descriptors pointing the beans to different database schemes. This is possible because Weblogic uses a separate classloaders for each jar. The first time copyProperties is invoked with a entity ejb as the source object it works well, the second time copyProperties is invoked with a ejb from the same type and with the same name but from a different classloader it fails with a IllegalArgumentException:

I'm not sure anybody understands this since I'm not sure that I understood it really but disabling the cache works for me and should not hurt elsewhere.
