I've been looking at that but have still been unsuccessful in getting
(class, int) to act differently than (class).

"Introspect on a Java bean and learn about all its properties, exposed
methods, and events, subject to some control flags. 
"
ok

"beanClass - The bean class to be analyzed.
flags - Flags to control the introspection. If flags == USE_ALL_BEANINFO
then we use all of the BeanInfo classes we can discover. If flags ==
IGNORE_IMMEDIATE_BEANINFO then we ignore any BeanInfo associated with
the specified beanClass. If flags == IGNORE_ALL_BEANINFO then we ignore
all BeanInfo associated with the specified beanClass or any of its
parent classes."

My understanding from that is USE_ALL_BEANINFO is equivalent to just
getBeanInfo(class). IGNORE_IMMEDIATE_BEANINFO would I guess be BeanInfo
on all the superclasses but not the class itself. IGNORE_ALL_BEANINFO...
BeanInfo with nothing???

Either way whatever combination of beans and flags I try I'm getting
exactly the same results and I can't tell what, if anything, these flags
are doing.
