ConstantsBeanFactoryUtil generates a bean from a class (see LPS-34323), but existing methods on the class aren't generated on the bean.

We'd like existing methods in a constants class part of the generated bean.

For a class like

class Constants {
	public static String STRING_VALUE = "Some string content";
	public static int INT_VALUE = 100;
	public static String getIntString(int value) {
		if (value == INT_VALUE) {
			return STRING_VALUE;
		}
	}
}

Once the following statement is run:

Object constantsBean = ConstantsBeanFactoryUtil.getConstantsBean(Constants.class);

constantsBean might be an instance of the following runtime generated class:

class ConstantsBean {
	public String getSTRING_VALUE() {
		return Constants.STRING_VALUE;
	}
	public int getINT_VALUE() {
		return Constants.INT_VALUE;
	}
	public static String getIntString(int value) {
		return Constants.getIntString(value);
	}
}
