[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-149) ReflectionHelper.containsMethod ignores "is" methods

ReflectionHelper.containsMethod ignores "is" methods ---------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-149 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-149 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Juergen Zimmermann Fix For: 4.0.0.Beta2 Line 399 of ReflectionHelper looks as follows: clazz.getMethod( "get" + methodName.substring( 0, 1 ).toUpperCase() + methodName.substring( 1 ) ); However, if you have a boolean property, then the get method requires the prefix "is", e.g. private boolean female; public boolean isFemale() { return female; } // prefix "is", not "get" public void setFemale(boolean female) { this.female = female; } This handling is important for methods being annotated with @AssertTrue and @AssertFalse
