findPropertyDescriptor method with a class argument ---------------------------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-270 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-270 Project: Commons BeanUtils Issue Type: Wish Components: Bean / Property Utils Affects Versions: 1.7.0 Reporter: Matthias Wuttke Priority: Minor I would like to suggest to add a findPropertyDescriptor variant that takes a class instead of a bean as an argument. This is useful for situations where I want to deal with abstract classes and their properties as I cannot instantiate them to use findPropertyDescriptor(Object, String) public PropertyDescriptor findPropertyDescriptor(Class clazz, String propertyName) { PropertyDescriptor[] descriptors = PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptors(clazz); for (int i = 0; i < descriptors.length; i++) if (propertyName.equals(descriptors[i].getName())) return (descriptors[i]); return null; } Best regards, Matthias -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
