A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

The "getName()" method on the PropertyDescriptor class says
it provides the name of the property. However, it is
altering the case of the first letter of the property name,
for instance, if the name of the field in the bean
is "MyFoo" it returns "myFoo".



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. create a bean with properties which have upper case names
2. introspect the bean using PropertyDescriptors
3. get the name of the property with the "getName" method
4. The case is different than the actual name.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expected the accurate name, case-preserved. I got a case-
altered name.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No error messages.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------

import java.beans.*;

public class test {
int MyFoo;

public int getMyFoo() {
return MyFoo;
}

public void setMyFoo(int MyFoo) {
this.MyFoo = MyFoo;
}

static public void main(String args[]) {
test t = new test();
try {
BeanInfo bi = Introspector.getBeanInfo(t.getClass());
PropertyDescriptor[] pd = bi.getPropertyDescriptors();

for (int i = 0; i < pd.length; i++) {
String name = pd[i].getName();
System.out.println("getName() = " + name);
}
} catch (IntrospectionException e) {
System.err.println("Introspect error: " + e.getMessage
());
}
}
}

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
I have been looking for a work-around. Please tell me if
you know of one.
