/**
* Internal class that caches JavaBeans {@link java.beans.PropertyDescriptor}
* information for a Java class. Not intended for direct use by application code.
*
* Necessary as {@link java.beans.Introspector#getBeanInfo()} in JDK 1.3 will
* return a new deep copy of the BeanInfo every time we ask for it. We take the
* opportunity to cache property descriptors by method name for fast lookup.
* Furthermore, we do our own caching of descriptors here, rather than rely on
* the JDK's system-wide BeanInfo cache (to avoid leaks on ClassLoader shutdown).
*
*
Information is cached statically, so we don't need to create new
* objects of this class for every JavaBean we manipulate. Hence, this class
* implements the factory design pattern, using a private constructor and
* a static {@link #forClass(Class)} factory method to obtain instances.
