Description

When trying to create a MappedPropertyDescriptor for a mapped property with an
"invalid" setter method, an IntrospectionException is thrown. E.g. I have a
class with the methods:

getProperty(String):Property
setProperty(String, Value):void

Since MappedPropertyDescriptor#findMethod(Class, String, int, Class[]) returns
that "invalid" setter method MappedPropertyDescriptor#findMappedPropertyType
fails. It would be nice for MappedPropertyDescriptor to ignore "invalid" setter
methods.

After some debugging I found that
MappedPropertyDescriptor#internalFindMethod(Class, String, int, Class[]) calls
MappedPropertyDescriptor#internalFindMethod(Class, String, int) for the class'
interfaces. So it misses the parameter which specifies the method's argument
classes. I think the way it's meant to be is to use
MappedPropertyDescriptor#internalFindMethod(Class, String, int, Class[]) for
that call, too.
