| Commons BeanUtils Package |
| Version 1.3 |
| Release Notes |
| |
| |
| INTRODUCTION: |
| |
| This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons |
| BeanUtils package, and highlights changes since the previous version. The |
| current release adds new features and bug fixes, and is being done now to |
| follow the release early/release often mentality. |
| |
| |
| NEW FEATURES: |
| |
| * DynaBeans are here. Ever wondered how to created loosely typed objects like |
| python has? That's DynaBean! Use them for EJB Dependent Objects, easy |
| representation of servlet parameters as a JavaBean, and more. |
| |
| * PropertyUtils has been upgraded to allow getters and setters on List objects. |
| Note that this is a deviation from the JavaBeans spec, but was done to make |
| life easier for a developer using BeanUtils. To be more specific, the spec is |
| located at http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/docs/beans.101.pdf and we |
| violating section 8.3.3 ;-) We hope that eventually the JavaBeans spec might |
| be updated to include this feature. |
| |
| * Logging - BeanUtils now uses the commons-logging API to do any logging. |
| System.out.println() has been deprecated ;-) |
