/**
* Specialized subclass of ActionForm
that allows the creation
* of form beans with dynamic sets of properties, without requiring the
* developer to create a Java class for each type of form bean.
*
* USAGE NOTE - Since Struts 1.1, the
* reset
method no longer initializes property values to those
* specified in <form-property>
elements in the Struts
* module configuration file. If you wish to utilize that behavior, the
* simplest solution is to subclass DynaActionForm
and call
* the initialize
method inside it.
*
