Is exact matching being used.

This rule uses org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils to introspect the relevent objects so that the right method can be called. Originally, MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod was used. This matches methods very strictly and so may not find a matching method when one exists. This is still the behaviour when exact matching is enabled.

When exact matching is disabled, MethodUtils.invokeMethod is used. This method finds more methods but is less precise when there are several methods with correct signatures. So, if you want to choose an exact signature you might need to enable this property.

The default setting is to disable exact matches.

Returns:true if exact matching is enabled
Since:Digester Release 1.1.1
