* bean. There is also a method that will return the name of the
* class that implements the command but it is not guaranteed to
* return a valid value. The reason for this is to allow CommandMap
* implmentations that subclass CommandInfo to provide special
* behavior. For example a CommandMap could dynamically generate
* JavaBeans. In this case, it might not be possible to create an
* object with all the correct state information solely from the class
* name.

* if for some reason the DataHandler that is passed in
* throws IOExceptions when this method attempts to
* access its InputStream. It will allow the caller to
* retrieve a reference to the bean if it can be
* instantiated.
*
* If the bean does NOT implement the CommandObject interface,
* this method will check if it implements the
* java.io.Externalizable interface. If it does, the bean's
* readExternal method will be called if an InputStream
* can be acquired from the DataHandler.
