Description

When PropertyUtilsBean attempts to set/get a property it throws an exception
with the following message:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Unknown property 'name'
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean.setSimpleProperty(PropertyUtilsBean.java:1741)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.setSimpleProperty(PropertyUtils.java:577)
at
com.sun.faces.config.ManagedBeanFactory.setPropertiesIntoBean(ManagedBeanFactory.java:558)

Its nice to know the name of the property, but it would be even nicer to know
the class.

(Yes, this is also a problem with the calling code, JSF FI in this case, which
even knows instance and bean name, yet chooses to leave tha a secret.)
