PropertyFilter not being called

[Joseph]

I am trying to filter out a specific property, so I implemented a
standard PropertyFilter. I included a println in the propagate method
to see the results of the filter and noticed that the filter is never
called. Is there something wrong with the way I am using the filter:

Hibernate3BeanReplicator replicator = new Hibernate3BeanReplicator();

replicator.initPropertyFilter(idVetoer);
replicator.initSetterMethodCollector(new
PrivateSetterMethodCollector());

Iap newIap = replicator.copy(iap);

I am using beanlib 5.0.3 beta and Hibernate 3.6.

Any suggestions?

It should work.  The demo code below should be pretty self-explanatory.

Demo
=====
iimport java.lang.reflect.Method;

import net.sf.beanlib.hibernate3.Hibernate3BeanReplicator;
import net.sf.beanlib.provider.collector.PrivateSetterMethodCollector;
import net.sf.beanlib.spi.PropertyFilter;

import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.ToStringBuilder;

public class TestMain {
public static class Iap {
private String summary;
private String detail;

public String getSummary() { return summary; }
void setSummary(String summary) { this.summary = summary; }

public String getDetail() { return detail; }
void setDetail(String detail) { this.detail = detail; }
}

public static void main(String[]args) {

Hibernate3BeanReplicator replicator = new Hibernate3BeanReplicator();

replicator.initPropertyFilter(new PropertyFilter() {
public boolean propagate(String propertyName, Method readerMethod) {
System.out.printf("propertyName=%s,
readerMethod=%s\n", propertyName, readerMethod);
return "summary".equals(propertyName);
}
});
replicator.initSetterMethodCollector(new
PrivateSetterMethodCollector());

Iap from = new Iap();
from.setSummary("foo");
from.setDetail("bar");
System.out.println("from: " + ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(from));
Iap newIap = replicator.copy(from);
System.out.println("to: " + ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(newIap));
}
}

Sample Output
===========

from: TestMain$Iap@7f2ad19e[summary=foo,detail=bar]
propertyName=detail, readerMethod=public java.lang.String
TestMain$Iap.getDetail()
propertyName=summary, readerMethod=public java.lang.String
TestMain$Iap.getSummary()
to: TestMain$Iap@583e0ebb[summary=foo,detail=<null>]

Thanks for the prompt response. It turns out the PropertyFilter
variable was being set to null and that's why nothing was happening.
I was tipped off by implementing an anonymous class like your
example. Dumb mistake on my part, but you helped me figure it out, so
thanks again.
