if in the getPropertyDescriptors method you checked the values for
null and only returned those that weren't null would this work?
That's what I was thinking... but looking at the BeanInfo interface, you
don't have access to the bean itself, so as Laurie said you would have
to know in advance which properties to expose. Never mind, then. :)
You should probably ask on commons-user... I bet there's a simple way to
do this. (The next thing that comes to mind is subclassing
BeanUtilsBean and overriding the copyProperty method to make it ignore
properties for which the incoming value is null. Would that work?)
For what it's worth, I think I just realized I need to solve the same
problem, so I'll try and remember to post here if I come up with a nice
solution. If you get anything from commons-user drop me a note ;-)
