IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [EMAIL PROTECTED]''' + This !BeanMapForm class allows you to instrument your !ActionForms and use them as dynamic property setters and getters as well. (The size 89 is chosen because the series created by x = 2x + 1 stays prime for a considerable time, e.g. 89, 179, 359, ''etc''. This maximizes the benefits of the lookup algorithms.) You don't have to use this class as a form, of course. You can use it just for the dynamic property setters and getters and instrument that, if you like, or not. But, there are lots of reasons to instrument action forms and this allows you to do that. You instrument such forms, of course, by subclassing !BeanMapForm. Check Joshua Bloch's ''Effective Java'', Item 14 (favor composition over inheritance), p. 71 ''et seq'', to understand the intricacies involved with instrumentation and collection classes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
