That doesn't look very good. You don't want to invoke a static method on a bean by mistake. I'd rather see it search for a static method only if the "bean" parameter is null. But then these methods should really be throwing an exception if you pass a null bean. If you really want to invoke a static method, you should be using beanInfo.getClassInfo() since you are no longer in the bean abstraction.
