| Commons BeanUtils Package |
| Version 1.6.1 |
| Release Notes |
| |
| INTRODUCTION: |
| ============ |
| |
| Beanutils 1.6.1 is a bug fix release. |
| The 1.6 release notes can be found at the bottom of this document. |
| |
| CHANGES: |
| ======== |
| |
| The ConstructorUtils java docs have been improved. |
| |
| ConvertingWrapDynaBean |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Use BeanUtils.copyProperty() instead of BeanUtils.setProperty() so that |
| Object->Object conversions -- via registered Converters, if any, are done. |
| |
| BeanUtils |
| --------- |
| |
| Enhance BeanUtils.copyProperty() to deal with about 80% of the use cases for |
| copying indexed, mapped, and nested properties with type conversions. The |
| remaining restrictions are documented in the Javadocs for this method. |
| |
| This is a partial response to Bugzilla #16525, which documents some |
| restrictions in the functionality of copyProperty() that leads people |
| to try setProperty() instead -- which they should not do. |
| |
| It is much more conservative than the proposed patch, which (as the reporter |
| acknowledges) is more appropriate in a minor update (1.7) versus a bugfix |
| patch (1.6.1) which is currently contemplated. |
| |
| BUG REPORTS ADDRESSED: |
| ===================== |
| |
| 16854 ResultSetDynaClass misspelled ResutSetDynaClass |
| 16525 (partial) BeanUtils.setProperty is over-zealous at converting types |

| Commons BeanUtils Package |
| Version 1.6 |
| Release Notes |
| |
| INTRODUCTION: |
| ============ |
| |
| This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons |
| BeanUtils package, and highlights changes since the previous version. |
| |
| |
| NEW FEATURES: |
| ============ |
| |
| New Classes |
| ----------- |
| |
| Initial checkin of a new class providing reflection utilities for constructors |
| (similar to MethodUtils). See org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConstructorUtils. |
| |
| Added a new DynaClass implementation that creates an in-memory collection of |
| DyanBeans representing the results of a SQL query. |
| See org.apache.commons.beanutils.RowSetDynaClass.java |
| |
| |
| DyanBeans Enhancements |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Improved DynaProperty serialization on Java 1.3 by adding a custom |
| serialization mechanism. Now primitive type classes will be correctly serialized |
| on Java 1.3. |
| |
| ResultSetDynaClass: Made it possible to select an operational mode where column |
| names are *not* lower cased when being converted into DynaBean property names. |
| Because different JDBC drivers behave differently with regards to the case of |
| the column names they return, using this mode will make your application |
| dependent upon the behavior of your particular JDBC driver. However, there |
| are some circumstances when consciously selecting such dependence is |
| necessary. |
| |
| Cleaned up Javadoc generation warnings under JDK 1.4. |
| |
| BeanComparator Enhancements |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| Added getComparator() property allowing retrieval of Comparator being used. |
| |
| Cleaned up Javadoc generation warnings under JDK 1.4. |
| |
| BeanUtils Enhancements |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Enhanced the behavior of BeanUtils.setProperty() such that, if the destination |
| property is a String and there is a registered Converter for the value's |
| class, the value's toString() method will be called, followed by conversion |
| to the appropriate destination type. Among other things, this makes it |
| possible to pass in a primitive wrapper type (such as Integer) and have it |
| converted to a String. |
| |
| Performance improvements. |
| |
| Java doc comments improvements. |
| |
| MethodUtils Enhancements |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Made getMatchingAccessibleMethod public. |
| |
| Converters Enhancements |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Added support for Number types in numeric converter classes. |
| |
| LocaleConvertUtils Enhancements |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| Cleaned up Javadoc generation warnings under JDK 1.4. |
| |
| DateLocaleConverter Enhancements |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| Added new Lenient property that allows lenient to be get and set on the |
| underlying date formatter. |
| |
| DEPRECATED |

| |
| org.apache.common.beanutils.BeanUtils getDebug(), setDebug() |
| (replaced by commons-logging) |
