I created a bugzilla enhacement request (with code) Bug [29879] to add LazyDynaBean and LazyDynaClass to beanutils - I don't know if the problem is my end but I didn't see the usual emails arrive on this list so I thought I would post this as well.
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29879 I developed "Lazy" implementations of DynaBean and DynaClass and they have been available for people to download from my web site for a while - would there be any interest in having them in beanutils? LazyDynaClass is an implementation of the MutableDynaClass interface that allows the properties of a DynaClass to be changed. LazyDynaBean must be used in conjunction with a MutableDynaClass and automatically adds properties when its set() methods are called if the property doesn't exist. The versions available on my web site only dealt with "simple" properties, but I now have a version that caters for indexed and mapped properties as well. This version automatically instantiates a Map when a mapped property is set that doesn't exist. It also instantiates either a List or Array when an indexed property is set that doesn't exist and automatically "grows" the List or Array so that it is big enough to cater for the index being set. Quite a few people seem to be using them now and I've had good feedback. I'm not sure of the Commons "etiquette" here - I was recently voted a Commons committer for the Validation project - but I guess I don't have karma for beanutils and even if I have, houldn't just plough in adding stuff without the existing Beanutils commiters say so?
