getPropertyDescriptorsAvoidSunBug

public static PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptorsAvoidSunBug(Class<?> refClass,
                                                                     BeanInfo beanInfo,
                                                                     Class<?> beanClass,
                                                                     PropertyDescriptor[] propertyDescriptors)

create own array of property descriptors to:

  - prevent memory leaks by Introspector's cache
  - get correct type for generic properties from superclass
     that are limited to a specific type in beanClass
    see http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6528714
   we cannot use BeanUtils.getPropertyDescriptors because of issue SPR-6063
   

Parameters:

refClass - calling class for class loading.

beanInfo - Bean in question

beanClass - class for bean in question

propertyDescriptors - raw descriptors

Returns:

findMethod

public static Method findMethod(Class<?> cls,
                                String name,
                                Class<?>... params)

Try to find a method we can use. If the object implements a public interface that has the public version of that method, we'll use the interface defined method in case the actual instance class is not public
