at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean.invokeMethod(PropertyUtilsBean.java:2168)
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtilsBean.setSimpleProperty(PropertyUtilsBean.java:2141)

How to reproduce:
1) the destination object has a method setId(int id) - the origin doesn't

2) values[0] is then null in
2168 valueString += (values[i]).getClass().getName();
