[jdom-interest] Could you please provide BeanInfo classes?

[Alexey Solofnenko]

Many tools can work with JavaBeans properties directly. Some scripting
languages provide syntactic sugar that allow 'node.text="Some Text"' or even
'note.text+="\n"+msg' instead of 'node.setText("Some Text")'. Java can guess
properties, but unfortunately (and intentionally) JDOM setters do not follow
Java standards for setters ( void set<PropertyName>(Type value) ). To make
Java to recognize JDom setters as property setters <Class>BeanInfo class
should be defined that describes what properties (with what getters and
setters) the class has.

Sincerely,
  Alexey.

I've never though of JDOM objects (i.e. XML objects) as JavaBeans. How
would this work? Why would it be useful?

Hello,

  JDOM setters are convenient, but they are not property setters
according
to Java specification. Could you please provide BeanInfo classes to
define
property setters, so they could be recognised by scripting and other
tools?
