Tried to play around with BeanUtils and it's pretty nifty. This module allows you to manipulate your object that adhere to the JavaBean specification. The interesting bit about it is that it allows you to create dynamic object without writing one. Just imagine how much time you save in writing code that can be done dynamically. I can think of a couple of ways that I'm going to use this. As a matter of fact one of the modules I'm working on requires me to make a copy of the object before getting new data from the database. After looking at the package, I think I'm going to use it instead of cloning the object, the method name is cloneBean it's in the org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils package.
Struts 1.1 enable you to create dynamic forms, and this is achieved by using this particular package. The other package that I found interesting is the converted package that helped you to convert data types easily. I'm excited to explore more now
