 * A JavaBean bulk accessor, which provides methods capable of getting/setting multiple properties
 * of a JavaBean at once.
 *
 * IMPORTANT NOTE!!! Apparently the order of the methods here is important as I think BulkAccessorFactory
 * makes use of that information in terms of accessing the constructor.  Anyway, when I tried to re-arrange them
 * the BulkAccessor creation failed and tests started to fail.
