I think it would be interestesting, even though it might not be
universally useful (some containers won't let you introduce new classes at
runtime).
I'd also be interested in a mechanism that converted a ResultSet into a
custom DynaClass, with a corresponding DynaBean for each row. This would
be trivially simple to do -- so simple that it probably makes a worthwhile
addition to commons-beanutils itself if someone wanted to take this on.
This wouldn't help you create dynamic input forms, but it would make a
completely flexible bean-like wrapper around a result set so you can use
Struts tags to display stuff.
