Description

public class OuterBean {
private DynaBean inner;

public DynaBean getInner()

{ return inner; }

public void setInner(DynaBean inner)

{ this.inner = inner; }

}

I am unable to get the type of any of the DynaBean properties as nested properties of the outer bean. I can get them using the DynaBean directly, eg:

PropertyUtils.getPropertyType(outer.getInner(), "foo") <- returns correct type
PropertyUtils.getPropertyType(outer, "inner.foo") <- returns null
