Subject: Re: can beanutil get the property of one field with its native type

I think you are just observing ArrayList's toString behavior.
BeanUtils.getProperty() returns the same object that the corresponding
getter method returns.

Try replacing System.out.println(map) with something like
System.out.println(map.get("childs").getClass().getName()) to see what
the actual object type is.

HTH,

Brent.
