/**
 * 

Lazy DynaBean List.

* *

There are two main purposes for this class:

*
    *
  • To provide Lazy List behaviour - automatically * growing and populating the List * with either DynaBean, java.util.Map * or POJO Beans.
  • *
  • To provide a straight forward way of putting a Collection * or Array into the lazy list and a straight forward * way to get it out again at the end.
  • *
* *

All elements added to the List are stored as DynaBean's:

*
    *
  • java.util.Map elements are "wrapped" in a LazyDynaMap. *
  • POJO Bean elements are "wrapped" in a WrapDynaBean. *
  • DynaBean's are stored un-changed. *
* *

toArray()

*

The toArray() method returns an array of the * elements of the appropriate type. If the LazyDynaList * is populated with java.util.Map objects a * Map[] array is returned. * If the list is populated with POJO Beans an appropriate * array of the POJO Beans is returned. Otherwise a DynaBean[] * array is returned. *

* *

toDynaBeanArray()

*

The toDynaBeanArray() method returns a * DynaBean[] array of the elements in the List. *

* *

N.B.All the elements in the List must be the * same type. If the DynaClass or Class * of the LazyDynaList's elements is * not specified, then it will be automatically set to the type * of the first element populated. *

* *

Example 1

*

If you have an array of java.util.Map[] - you can put that into * a LazyDynaList.

* *

 *    TreeMap[] myArray = .... // your Map[]
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(myArray);
 * 
* *

New elements of the appropriate Map type are * automatically populated:

* *

 *    // get(index) automatically grows the list
 *    DynaBean newElement = (DynaBean)lazyList.get(lazyList.size());
 *    newElement.put("someProperty", "someValue");
 * 
* *

Once you've finished you can get back an Array of the * elements of the appropriate type:

* *

 *    // Retrieve the array from the list
 *    TreeMap[] myArray = (TreeMap[])lazyList.toArray());
 * 
* * *

Example 2

*

Alternatively you can create an empty List and * specify the Class for List's elements. The LazyDynaList * uses the Class to automatically populate elements:

* *

 *    // e.g. For Maps
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(TreeMap.class);
 *
 *    // e.g. For POJO Beans
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(MyPojo.class);
 *
 *    // e.g. For DynaBeans
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(MyDynaBean.class);
 * 
* *

Example 3

*

Alternatively you can create an empty List and specify the * DynaClass for List's elements. The LazyDynaList uses * the DynaClass to automatically populate elements:

* *

 *    // e.g. For Maps
 *    DynaClass dynaClass = new LazyDynaMap(new HashMap());
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(dynaClass);
 *
 *    // e.g. For POJO Beans
 *    DynaClass dynaClass = (new WrapDynaBean(myPojo)).getDynaClass();
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(dynaClass);
 *
 *    // e.g. For DynaBeans
 *    DynaClass dynaClass = new BasicDynaClass(properties);
 *    List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(dynaClass);
 * 
* *

N.B. You may wonder why control the type * using a DynaClass rather than the Class * as in the previous example - the reason is that some DynaBean * implementations don't have a default empty constructor and * therefore need to be instantiated using the DynaClass.newInstance() * method.

* *

Example 4

*

A slight variation - set the element type using either * the setElementType(Class) method or the * setElementDynaClass(DynaClass) method - then populate * with the normal java.util.List methods(i.e. * add(), addAll() or set()).

* *

 *    // Create a new LazyDynaList (100 element capacity)
 *    LazyDynaList lazyList = new LazyDynaList(100);
 *
 *    // Either Set the element type...
 *    lazyList.setElementType(TreeMap.class);
 *
 *    // ...or the element DynaClass...
 *    lazyList.setElementDynaClass(new MyCustomDynaClass());
 *
 *    // Populate from a collection
 *    lazyList.addAll(myCollection);
 *
