In this case its very simple. The app server has its own notion of
DynamicBeans and caches its own info about application server level
objects. To expose these in the VelocityContext I needed a call that would
invoke DynamicBeans.getPropertyValue(Object, String prop) which is a static
method on the DynamicBeans call, which maintains the cache of class info.
This deals with all the objects in my runtime system so I thought to use it
rather than attempt to modify the introspector or something else.
