I recently donated the LazyDynaBean and LazyDynaClass that I developed to the BeanUtils project and these have recently been released in the BeanUtils 1.7.0 release.
* Documentation: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/apidocs/org/apache/commons/beanutils/package-summary.html#dynamic.lazy * Commons BeanUtils: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/ * BeanUtils Download: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi The versions I donated to BeanUtils have additional features over the original ones posted on my web site - they now handle "lazy" indexed and mapped properties. Additionally there is also a new LazyDynaMap which is a light weight facade to a Map, but with the same "lazy" features (its "light weight" because there no "real" DynaClass associated with it - it mimicks the DynaClass behaviour from the properties stored in it). If you have an existing Map of stuff, you can wrap it in a LazyDynaMap and use it then in the normal DynaBean way. I have also committed some changes to Struts which are available in the nightly build (from beginning of August) - a new BeanValidatorForm (which is now the basis of my lazy ActionForms) and changes to the FormBeanConfig which mean you can initialize lazy ActionForm properties in the same way as DynaActionForms - this is useful if you want to use "nested" lazy beans or arrays of lazy beans. For example: <form-bean name="lazyForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.LazyValidatorForm"> <form-property name="customer" type="org.apache.commons.beanutils.LazyDynaBean" /> <form-property name="products" type="org.apache.commons.beanutils.LazyDynaBean[]" /> </form-bean> * Download Struts Nightly: http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/ I have also posted new versions of the LazyValidatorForm and LazyValidatorActionForm on my web site and added LazyValidatorMap and LazyValidatorActionMap versions. These new versions are now actually very simple with most of the logic factored out into the BeanValidatorForm I added to Struts. These require the nightly Struts build and are available here: * Lazy ActionForms: http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Niall --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
