Description

When the object to be mapped redefined #toString() method we can have the following exception message:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error setting property 'setPrice' of '32 (name)'. Cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.accessplan.PropertyAccessPlan.setProperties(PropertyAccessPlan.java:52)

Furthermore, the value to set is not describe in this message.

A message like the following will ease finding the reason :
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error setting property 'setPrice' for object of type 'com....MyBean' with value of type 'null'. Cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.accessplan.PropertyAccessPlan.setProperties(PropertyAccessPlan.java:52)

In my case this was because the database column was null and i was expecting a float which can not be set to null.

This might also come in handy when the type of the setter is not compatible with the type of the value.
