/**
*
* A specialized implementation of {@code DefaultParametersHandler} that copies the properties of a
* {@link BuilderParameters} object (passed at construction time) onto the object to be initialized.
*
*
* Using this handler implementation makes specifying default values pretty straight-forward: Just create a
* corresponding parameters object, initialize it as desired, and pass it to this class. When invoked the handler uses
* functionality from Commons BeanUtils to copy all properties defined in the associated parameters object onto
* the target object. This is based on reflection. Properties not available for the target object are silently ignored.
* If an exception occurs during the copy operation, it is re-thrown as a runtime exception.
*
*
* Note that there is no default way to create a defensive copy of the passed in parameters object; therefore, the
* reference is stored. This makes it possible to change the parameters object later on, and the changes will be
* effective when initializing objects afterwards. Client code should not rely on this feature.
*
*
* @since 2.0
