boolean1, read: public boolean javabean.BeanWithState.isBoolean1(), write: public void javabean.BeanWithState.setBoolean1(boolean) boolean2, read: null, write: public void javabean.BeanWithState.setBoolean2(java.lang.Boolean) I ran into this testing the jca managed objects. The isX form of a getter is not considered for java.lang.Boolean properties, only the primitive boolean type. This apparently is from the javabeans spec (which is old): "javabeans 1.0.1" wrote : | 8.3.2 Boolean properties | In addition, for boolean properties, we allow a getter method to match the pattern: | public boolean is(); | This ?is? method may be provided instead of a ?get? method, or it may be provided in addition to a ?get? method. | In either case, if the ?is? method is present for a boolean property then we will use the ?is? method to read the property value. | An example boolean property might be: | public boolean isMarsupial(); | public void setMarsupial(boolean m); | With autoboxing it seems like java.lang.Boolean should also be treated this way as I can use a primitive field without having to explicitly convert it to a Boolean: | class Bean | { | boolean marsupial; | public Boolean isMarsupial(); | public void setMarsupial(Boolean m); | } | | // user code | boolean flag = bean.isMarsupial(); | We are explicitly disallowing the isX getter to be found for a java.lang.Boolean property in AbstractBeanInfoFactory. Was there a problem with allowing this? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4079731#...
