I don't understand what you are tring to do? 

You can't in general visit BeanInfo because it is not a graph, the types
can be self referencing either directly or transitively. Any "visit' would loop forever. ;-)

e.g.  simple example from the JDK

  | public class Class extends Object {}
  | public class Object
  | {
  |    Class getClass();
  | }
  | 

The closest thing to a "visitor" (its not actually a visitor) 
is the WeakTypeCache used to build the ClassInfo, etc.
