This artifact provides a single jar that contains all classes required to use remote EJB and JMS, including all dependencies. It is intended for use by those not using maven, maven users should just import the EJB and JMS BOM's instead (shaded JAR's cause lots of problems with maven, as it is very easy to inadvertently end up with different versions on classes on the class path).

There is a newer version: 32.0.0.Final

/**
 * Decorates a {@link DynaBean} to provide Map behaviour.
 *
 * The motivation for this implementation is to provide access to {@link DynaBean}
 *    properties in technologies that are unaware of BeanUtils and {@link DynaBean}s -
 *    such as the expression languages of JSTL and JSF.
 *
 * This can be achieved either by wrapping the {@link DynaBean} prior to
 *    providing it to the technolody to process or by providing a Map
 *    accessor method on the DynaBean implementation:
 *    

 *         public Map getMap() {
 *             return new DynaBeanMapDecorator(this);
 *         }
 *   
 * 
 *
 * This, for example, could be used in JSTL in the following way to access
 *    a DynaBean's fooProperty:
 *    
${myDynaBean.map.fooProperty}
 * 
 *
 * Usage
 *
 * To decorate a {@link DynaBean} simply instantiate this class with the
 *    target {@link DynaBean}:
 *
 * Map fooMap = new DynaBeanMapDecorator(fooDynaBean);
 *
 * The above example creates a read only Map.
 *    To create  a Map which can be modified, construct a
 *    DynaBeanMapDecorator with the read only
 *    attribute set to false:
 *
 * Map fooMap = new DynaBeanMapDecorator(fooDynaBean, false);
 *
 * Limitations
 * In this implementation the entrySet(), keySet()
 *    and values() methods create an unmodifiable
 *    Set and it does not support the Map's clear()
 *    and remove() operations.
 * For reasons of backwards compatibility, the generic types of this
 *    {@code Map} implementation are {@code }. However, the
 *    keys of the map are typically strings.
 *
 * @since BeanUtils 1.8.0
 * @version $Id: DynaBeanMapDecorator.java 1540186 2013-11-08 21:08:30Z oheger $
 * @deprecated Use {@link DynaBeanPropertyMapDecorator} instead. When adding
 * generics it turned out that it was not possible to use the correct type
 * parameters without breaking backwards compatibility. Therefore, class
 * {@code DynaBeanPropertyMapDecorator} was introduced as a replacement.
