/**
* 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);
*
