[el-dev] Question: BeanELResolver behavior without java.beans.*

[Paul Nicolucci <pnicolucci@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The _expression_ Language 6.0 BeanELResolver states the following:

If the java.beans.* package is available (part of the java.desktop module) the JavaBeans implementation provided by the JRE is used. If the java.beans.* package is not available, a built-in stand-alone implementation is used that just provides getter/setter support (as everything else requires classes from java.beans.*).

I'm not clear on what support is unavailable when the java.desktop module is not available. Can anyone clarify? If getter and setter support is available what specifically is missing?

Would the TCK pass with the "built-in stand-alone implementation" that only "provides getter/setter support"?

Thanks,

Paul Nicolucci
