One place to start would be to look at the unit test programs in the
commons-beanutils nightly source bundle. But, fundamentally, it's not
totally different from how yo access properties using PropertyUtils, where
you might say:
MyBean bean = ...;
String name = PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(bean, "name");
you would instead say
MyBean bean = ...; // Must implement DynaBean
String name = bean.get("name");
One very nice feature is that PropertyUtils has been enhanced to
understand DynaBeans internally, so you can actually use *either* syntax
in your application. That way, all the Struts tags that already use
PropertyUtils will be able to auto-magically work with DynaBeans as well.
Look for a check-in of DynaActionForm (so that you can define the
properties of form beans without having to create a Java clas for every
one) real soon now ...
