 * <p>Implementation of <code>DynaBean</code> that wraps a standard JavaBean

 * This means that (say) Strings can be passed in as values in setter methods and
 * this DynaBean will convert them to the correct primitive data types.</p>
 *
 * <p><strong>IMPLEMENTATION NOTE</strong> - This implementation does not
 * support the <code>contains()</code> and <code>remove()</code> methods.</p>
