Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-311:
-------------------------------------------

Ivan,

Its not really a "bean with a Map" but an alternative to a POJO bean - see:

http://commons.apache.org/beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/package-summary.html#dynamic

One reason I don't think its a good idea is because of the very question "which 
should be evaulated first"? Another is because it could be inconsistent, 
depending on whether a property exists in a DynaBean or not. BeanUtils only 
ever treats DynaBean as DynaBeans (the same with Maps btw) - this is 
straightforward and consistent and I'm against making it any other way.

Starting coding getters/setters for DynaBean would seem bizarre to me - since 
one of their main points is not having to do that. If you want to though, then 
I suggest overriding the DynaBean's get/set methods and invoking your hand 
coded methods.

> DynaBean variables are evaluated before member variables.

> Hi,
> I have a class that is a DynaBean (extends LazyDynaBean) and that has some 
> member variables, in addition to those of the DynaBean.
> It seems as if dynaBean variables are evaluated first, and as the property to 
> evaluate is a member variable and not a dynaBean one,
> it returns a NestedNullException.
> Regards.
