The javadoc at http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/el/BeanELResolver.html
 says:

"If this resolver was constructed in read-only mode, this method will
always throw PropertyNotWritableException."

I think it is what should actually happen. It is also easier to check
a boolean property either than use reflection to lookup whether a
property exists. I see no specification bug here.

The same as for ResourceBundleELResolver. (That resolver is inherently
read-only but you recently changed it to return false in a similar
method).

The return value does not matter if the property has not been marked
as resolved. The docs require the caller to ignore the return value in
such a case.
