## Class BasicDynaBean

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.beanutils.BasicDynaBean

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, DynaBean

      public class BasicDynaBean
      extends Object
      implements DynaBean, Serializable

  Minimal implementation of the `DynaBean` interface. Can be used as a convenience base class for more sophisticated implementations.

  IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - Instances of this class that are accessed from multiple threads simultaneously need to be synchronized.

  IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - Instances of this class can be successfully serialized and deserialized ONLY if all property values are `Serializable`.
