I have seen problems with beans like this-- overloaded getters and setters
really confuse the mechanism that copies properties around. I don't think
this conforms to the JavaBeans spec, either.
How about getCountryByIndex and setCountryByIndex instead?
Then again, I have not used indexed properties in an ActionForm, so I may be
completely off base here.
