Modified: beanutils/src/java/org/apache/commons/beanutils
DynaClass.java
Log:
Remove the "converter" property from DynaClass -- based on discussions on the
mailing list, it really doesn't belong here.
Add an instance factory method (using a configurable base implementation
class) to create new DynaBean instances associated with this DynaClass.
