Sample code may look like as follows:

* Example displaying the new default behaviour such that
* it is not possible to access class level properties utilizing the
* BeanUtilsBean, which in turn utilizes the PropertyUtilsBean.
*/
public void testSuppressClassPropertyByDefault() throws Exception {
    final BeanUtilsBean bub = new BeanUtilsBean();
    final AlphaBean bean = new AlphaBean();
    try {
        bub.getProperty(bean, "class");
        fail("Could access class property!");
    } catch (final NoSuchMethodException ex) {
        // Ok
    }
}

/**
* Example showing how by which one would use to revert to the
* behaviour prior to the 1.9.4 release where class level properties were accessible by
* the BeanUtilsBean and the PropertyUtilsBean.
*/
public void testAllowAccessToClassProperty() throws Exception {
    final BeanUtilsBean bub = new BeanUtilsBean();
    bub.getPropertyUtils().removeBeanIntrospector(SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector.SUPPRESS_CLASS);
    final AlphaBean bean = new AlphaBean();
    String result = bub.getProperty(bean, "class");
    assertEquals("Class property should have been accessed", "class org.apache.commons.beanutils2.AlphaBean", result);
}
