## org.apache.commons.beanutils
Class WrapDynaBean

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.beanutils.WrapDynaBean

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, DynaBean

Direct Known Subclasses:
  ConvertingWrapDynaBean

    public class WrapDynaBean

extends Object
implements DynaBean, Serializable

Implementation of `DynaBean` that wraps a standard JavaBean instance, so that DynaBean APIs can be used to access its properties.

The most common use cases for this class involve wrapping an existing java bean. (This makes it different from the typical use cases for other `DynaBean`'s.) For example:

`

      Object aJavaBean = ...;
      ...
      DynaBean db = new WrapDynaBean(aJavaBean);
      ...

`

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - This implementation does not support the `contains()` and `remove()` methods.

  Returns:
    The indexed property's value
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no property of the specified name
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified property exists, but is not indexed
    `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the specified index is outside the range of the underlying property
    `NullPointerException` - if no array or List has been initialized for this property

### get

    public Object get(String name,
                      String key)

  Return the value of a mapped property with the specified name, or `null` if there is no value for the specified key.

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `DynaBean`
  Parameters:
    `name` - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
    `key` - Key of the value to be retrieved
  Returns:
    The mapped property's value
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no property of the specified name
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified property exists, but is not mapped

### getDynaClass

  Return the `DynaClass` instance that describes the set of properties available for this DynaBean.

  Specified by:
    `getDynaClass` in interface `DynaBean`
  Returns:
    The associated DynaClass

### remove

    public void remove(String name,
                       String key)
