PropertyUtils handling multiple getter methods

[Chandan Kulkarni]

I had a question about this part of PropertyUtils.java.   ====================================================              public static PropertyDescriptor getPropertyDescriptor(Object bean,                       String name)   <snipped>        PropertyDescriptor descriptors[] = getPropertyDescriptors(bean);      if (descriptors == null)         return (null);      for (int i = 0; i < descriptors.length; i++) {          if (name.equals(descriptors[i].getName()))               return (descriptors[i]);      } ======================================================== The method getPropertyDescriptor  calls         getPropertyDescriptors(bean) and iterates through them to get a match on the name.   Incase the Bean class contains       ArrayList items;   It requires to have 2 getItems methods  1)   ArrayList getItems() - to be used when you use the             <logic:iterate name="Beanname" property="items" > 2)  It also requires an indexed getter         Item getItem(int index)     to handle the form input fields within the iterate tag.   If you find the wrong descriptor first, you get a NoSuchMethodException I propose getPropertyDescriptor take another parameter (which says whether its an Indexed property we are looking for) or create another getIndexedPropertyDescriptor.   I'll probably do that to handle nested, indexed properties to get <logic:iterate> to work...         -Chandan.
