022/**
023 * <p>
024 * This comparator compares two beans by the specified bean property. It is also possible to compare beans based on nested, indexed, combined, mapped bean
025 * properties. Please see the {@link PropertyUtilsBean} documentation for all property name possibilities.
026 *
027 * </p>
028 * <p>
029 * <strong>Note:</strong> The BeanComparator passes the values of the specified bean property to an internal natural order {@link Comparator}, if no comparator
030 * is specified in the constructor. If you are comparing two beans based on a property that could contain "null" values, a suitable {@code Comparator} or Apache
031 * Commons Collection {@code ComparatorChain} should be supplied in the constructor. Note that the passed in {@code Comparator} must be able to handle the
032 * passed in objects. Because the type of the property to be compared is not known at compile time no type checks can be performed by the compiler. Thus
033 * {@code ClassCastException} exceptions can be thrown if unexpected property values occur.
034 * </p>
