"Not a setter" exception cannot be be thrown in Property.java [SPR-15507]

[spring-projects-issues]

Phil Webb opened SPR-15507 and commented

Someone from the community raised this to me:

The Property class includes the following:

	int index = this.writeMethod.getName().indexOf("set") + 3;
			if (index == -1) {
				throw new IllegalArgumentException("Not a setter method");
}

Since the index is set with +3 there's no way for the exception to throw.

See

spring-framework/spring-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/core/convert/Property.java

Line 146 in 3b8b350

int index = this.writeMethod.getName().indexOf("set") + 3;
