The java.beans.PropertyDescriptor(String propertyName, Class beanClass,
String getterName, String setterName) construstor throws
unexpected NullPointerException if getterName is null.

This constructor takes the name of a simple property, and method names for reading and writing the property.
       Parameters:
              propertyName - The programmatic name of the property.
              beanClass - The Class object for the target bean. For example sun.beans.OurButton.class.
              getterName - The name of the method used for reading the property value.
                           May be null if the property is write-only.
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
              setterName - The name of the method used for writing the property value. May be null if the property is read-only.
       Throws:
              IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.

Please see example in JCK-1.2.2:
