[classlib][beans] differences in java.beans.Statement behavior
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HARMONY-882
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-882
             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Non-bug differences from RI
         Environment: winXP
            Reporter: Alexei Zakharov
            Priority: Minor


While trying to enable tests from
org.apache.harmony.beans.tests.java.beans.StatementTest I have faced
the strange problem. It seems that while building Statement for
accessing array elements RI doesn't check the number of parameters of
get() method. It simply takes the value of first argument, converts it
to integer and does nothing more. Following (IMHO invalid) tests pass
on RI:

Test1:
Object[] array = new Object[] { "test" };
Statement t = new Statement(array, "get", new Object[] {
       new Integer(0), new Object() });
t.execute();

Test2:
Object[] array = new Object[] { "test" };
Statement t = new Statement(array, "get", new Object[] {
       new Integer(0), new Object(), new Integer[] {1,2,3,4,5,6},
       new java.util.GregorianCalendar(), "mama mila ramu" });
t.execute();

The spec states the following:
"The method names 'get' and 'set' defined in the java.util.List
interface may also be applied to array instances, mapping to the
static methods of the same name in the Array class."

Therefore, since java.util.List defines 'get' method with excatly one
integer argument I suppose the correct test should look like:

Test3:
Object[] array = new Object[] { "test" };
Statement t = new Statement(array, "get", new Object[] {
       new Integer(0) });
t.execute();

And Test1 and Test2 should throw NoSuchMethodException as our
implementation does.

So, the behavior of our implementation differs from RI. But RI's behavior looks unnatural in this case. It was decided [1] we should keep our behavior.
