Apache Commons BeanUtils Release Notes

Release History

Version	Date	Description
2.0.0-M2	YYYY-MM-DD	This is a major release and requires Java 8.
2.0.0-M1	2024-12-27	This is a major release and requires Java 8
1.10.0	2024-12-26	This is a maintenance release, requires Java 8.
1.9.4	2019-08-13	The primary reason for this release is a bugfix for CVE-2014-0114. More specifically, our goal with BEANUTILS-520 is to set the default behavior of the BeanUtilsBean to not allow class level access. The goal in doing this now is to bring 1.9.X into alignment with the same behavior of the 2.X version line in regards to security. If one would like to opt out of the default behavior, one could follow the example set out in the test class available in src/test/java/org/apache/commons/beanutils/bugs/Jira520TestCase.java.

	MappedPropertyDescriptor doesn't recognize boolean property accessor. Fixes BEANUTILS-69. Thanks to Chris Audley.	niallp
	Add test for MappedPropertyDescriptor with different types on get/set methods. Fixes BEANUTILS-163.	niallp
	LocaleBeanUtils setProperty does not work on nested property. Fixes BEANUTILS-140. Thanks to Marco La Porta.	niallp
	Package scope implementation of a public interface for mapped property fails (fixed by changes to MappedPropertyDescriptor associated with BEANUTILS-6). Fixes BEANUTILS-87. Thanks to YOKOTA Takehiko.	niallp
	PropertyUtils incosistency - can't use "dot" in mapped properties for setProperty or getPropertyDescriptor (fixed by the changes for BEANUTILS-259 Plugable Property Name Expression Resolver). Fixes BEANUTILS-33. Thanks to Eoin Curran.	niallp
	Public methods overridden in anonymous or private subclasses are not recognized by PropertyUtils. Fixes BEANUTILS-273. Thanks to Marcelo Liberato.	niallp
	PropertyUtilsBean's isReadable() / isWriteable() always return false for mapped properties. Fixes BEANUTILS-88. Thanks to Chuck Daniels.	niallp
	PropertyUtilsBean isReadable() and isWriteable() methods do not work correctly for WrapDynaBean. Fixes BEANUTILS-61. Thanks to Brian Ewins.	niallp
	PropertyUtils.isReadable() and PropertyUtils.getProperty() not consistent. Fixes BEANUTILS-18. Thanks to Maarten Coene.	niallp
	PropertyUtilsBean.copyProperties does not catch NoSuchMethodException. Fixes BEANUTILS-92. Thanks to Will Pugh.	bayard
	PropertyUtilsBean.getIndexedProperty()'s javadoc should indicate IndexOutOufBoundsException can be thrown rather than just ArrayIndexOutOufBoundsException. Fixes BEANUTILS-256. Thanks to Torsten Feig.	niallp
	Create new methods getPropertyOfMapBean and setPropertyOfMapBean that the existing setNestedProperty and getNestedProperty methods now call when they discover the bean they are accessing implements Map. This makes it much easier for users to subclass and customise this behavior of PropertyUtilsBean, eg in order to restore pre-1.5 behavior. This patch also causes an exception to be thrown when the propertyName passed to getPropertyOfMapBean or setPropertyOfMapBean has MAPPED_DELIM or INDEXED_DELIM chars in it. This never worked as expected before (the whole string was treated literally as the propertyName), so throwing an exception here should not break any existing code. It should be of help to future developers who make this mistake though... Fixes BEANUTILS-162.	skitching
	Ignore simple properties on java.util.Map objects - Map methods are always used on a Map object. Reverts BEANUTILS-144. See BEANUTILS-162 for discussion.	skitching
	Correct getPropertyDescriptor() and setNestedProperty() methods to throw a NestedNullException rather than just IllegalArgumentException (consistent with the getNestedProperty() method). Fixes BEANUTILS-262.	niallp
	Problems on indexed property with JDK 1.4. Fixes BEANUTILS-97.	niallp
	BooleanArrayConverter: Use new AbstractArrayConverter constructors and Convert strings to booleans by invoking a BooleanConverter rather than hard-wiring the conversion.	skitching
	BooleanConverter: Add facility for user to override the default set of true and false string definitions and provide ability to pass special NO_DEFAULT object as the "defaultValue" constructor parameter. Thanks to Eric Rizzo.	skitching
	AbstractArrayConverter: provide ability to pass special NO_DEFAULT object as the "defaultValue" constructor parameter.	skitching
	DecimalLocaleConverter and subClasses never throw a ConversionException. Fixes BEANUTILS-78. Thanks to Stefan Lotscher.	niallp
	FloatLocaleConverter cannot parse negative values. Fixes BEANUTILS-44. Thanks to Paul Jenkins.	niallp
	Improve ClassConverter robustness. Fixes BEANUTILS-263. Thanks to Alex Albu.	niallp
	DateLocaleConverter does not always throw an Exception for invalid dates. Fixes BEANUTILS-271. Thanks to Nico Hoogervorst.	niallp
	Don't try parsing values that are already Dates/Numbers in Date/Number locale Converters. Fixes BEANUTILS-288.	niallp
	WrapDynaClass: Added comment re potential memory leak, and safety when using shared classloader	skitching
	Make WrapDynaBean Serializable.	niallp
	WrapDynaBeanTestCase failing with jikes/kaffe because of static List in TestBean. Fixes BEANUTILS-36. Thanks to Jack.	niallp
	Misleading error message in ConvertingWrapDynaBean. Fixes BEANUTILS-23. Thanks to Aslak Hellesoy.	niallp
	LazyDynaBean: don't try and instantiate properties of type Object.class. Fixes BEANUTILS-24. Thanks to Roi Ares.	niallp
	LazyDynabean Javadoc corrections. Fixes BEANUTILS-133. Thanks to Masoud Omidvar.	niallp
	LazyDynaClass can create a DynaProperty with a "null" type. Fixes BEANUTILS-250.	niallp
	JDBCDynaClass "lowerCase" option causes problems in RowSetDynaClass and ResultSetIterator. Fixes BEANUTILS-289.	niallp
	RowSetDynaClass fails to copy ResultSet to DynaBean with Oracle 10g JDBC driver. Fixes BEANUTILS-142. Thanks to Li Zhang.	niallp
	Fix BeanComparator throws wrong exception and hides cause. Fixes BEANUTILS-241. Thanks to Chris Hyzer.	bayard
	Deprecate the public static defaultTransformers HashMap and make it unmodifiable. Fixes BEANUTILS-112. Thanks to Simon Kitching.	niallp
	Merge Bean-Collections back into core BeanUtils and remove Bean-Collections sub-project. Fixes BEANUTILS-290.	niallp
	Fixi the build to include all the tests and change the build.properties.sample so it's easier to use for the default maven user (ie: it looks by default in the .maven repository). Fixes BEANUTILS-287.	bayard
	Improvements to maven build. Fixes BEANUTILS-217. Thanks to Carlos Sanchez.	niallp
	Add Implementation-Vendor-Id entry to jar's manifest. Fixes BEANUTILS-54. Thanks to Pascal Grange.	niallp
	Resolve compiler warnings: Unused imports, un-read local variables, field hiding, empty block, improperly used statics, uncessary semi colons, unnecessary casts. Fixes BEANUTILS-121. Thanks to Chris Tilden.	bayard
	Replace use of static Log objects with instance or local variables. It isn't safe to use static Log objects in code that might be deployed via a shared classloader as they will bind to the Log object from the context classloader in use when the first use happens.	skitching
	BeanMap: Fix internal variable to not include non-existant write methods. - ported from Commons Collections. Fixes COLLECTIONS-22. Thanks to Dimiter Dimitrov.	scolebourne
	Change MethodUtils to make getMatchingAccessibleMethod() method selection more rational. Thanks to Steve Cohen.	rdonkin
