Description

commons-beanutils-1.6.1
Trying to clone a bean with BeanUtils.cloneBean(Object) causes a
NullPointerException. I think the bean in this case should be instanciated
from the DynaClass such as:

Object newBean = null;
if (bean instanceof DynaBean)

{ newBean = ((DynaBean) bean).getDynaClass().newInstance(); }

else

{ newBean = bean.getClass().newInstance(); }
