• getPropertyDescriptorsAvoidSunBug

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

                                                       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

• getAnnotationForMethodOrContainingClass

  public static <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotationForMethodOrContainingClass(Method m,
                                                                 Class<T> annotationType)

  Look for a specified annotation on a method. If there, return it. If not, search it's containing class. Assume that the annotation is marked @Inherited.

  Parameters:

  m - method to examine

  annotationType - the annotation type to look for.
