commons beanutils alternative

I am looking for a commons beanutils alternative. The reason is that beanutils relies on commons-logging which is conflicting with existing libraries I am using.

I would like a small self-contained alternative which will cause no/minimal conflicts.

The main functionality I am after is nested property retrieval.

Thanks in advance, Steven

Solution

  • Ended up writing my own mini beanutils to get around this dependency and removed commons-beanutils completely.

    The SLF4J did not end up helping since it broke some other dependencies (damn you weblogic!).

    My own implementation is probably slower since the commons-beanutils appears to cache some fetches to remove some reflective calls.

    Msg me if your interested in getting the source code of my implementation.
