Description

please move the line

log.debug( ... + bean.getClass()... )

to a position AFTER the check for ( bean == null ).

currently, the following code in BeanUtils.java throws an exception when bean == null and logLevel == debug

--------------------------------------------------

public static Map describe(Object bean)
throws IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException,
NoSuchMethodException {

if (log.isDebugEnabled())

{ log.debug("Describing bean: " + bean.getClass().getName()); }

if (bean == null)

{ // return (Collections.EMPTY_MAP); return (new java.util.HashMap()); }
