Description

Here is My testClass:

PropertyUtilsSetValueUTest.java

import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils;
import org.junit.Test;

public class PropertyUtilsSetValueUTest {

    @Test
    public void testSetProperty() throws Exception {
        final MyEntity entity = new MyEntity();

        // fist set value manual
        final OtherEntity otherEntity = new OtherEntity();
        entity.setOtherEntity(otherEntity);

        // second set value with PropertyUtils
        PropertyUtils.setProperty(entity, "otherEntity", otherEntity);
        // => java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Property 'otherEntity' has no setter method in class '... MyEntity'

    }

    public static class MyEntity implements MyEntityInterface {
        private OtherEntity otherEntity;

        @Override
        public OtherEntity getOtherEntity() {
            return this.otherEntity;
        }

        public void setOtherEntity(final OtherEntity otherEntity) {
            this.otherEntity = otherEntity;
        }

    }

    public static class OtherEntity implements OtherEntityInterface {

    }

    public static interface MyEntityInterface {
        OtherEntityInterface getOtherEntity();
    }

    public static interface OtherEntityInterface {
    }
}
