I am going to use them as my type for transfer objects as well instead of the strategy I outlined before where I defined my own IInputForm and IDynaInputForm interfaces. > My only gripe with using the commons-beanutils would be that I would perhaps > like to have a couple levels of DynaBean and perhaps at the simplest level > only have an interface like you describe (i.e. fewer methods in implement). I would like to see an empty interface called org.apache.commons.beanutils.Bean, but I can see that being a huge point of contention so I'm not going to press for it.
