Description

I execute the following Jelly script:

<j:new var="foo" className="java.io.File" >
<j:arg value="."/>
</j:new>

<j:invoke method="isFile" var="isFile" on="${foo}" />

and get the following Exception when I do:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: No such accessible method: isFile() on object: java.lang.String.

The same happens if I use the <util:file> tag.

When I take a look at my log4j file I see the following debug statement:

DEBUG main org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils - Convert string 'java.io.File' to class 'java.lang.String'
