[Springframework-developer] BeanWrapper and anonymous class overrides

[Keith D. <kd...@cs...>]

I have a case for failure with getPropertyValue() on BeanWrapper and was
wondering if anyone could shed some light...

Here's the situation -

- In my test suite, I have a static inner class called "TestBean" with
several properties that return dummy values.
- In one of my test cases, I create a new instance of TestBean, =
anonymously
overriding several of the public getters to return different values.

On the BeanWrapper getPropertyValue() call I get this exception:

org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Illegal attempt to get
property 'test' threw exception; nested exception is

java.lang.IllegalAccessException:

Is this just not supported?  I guess I was expecting it to work.
