## Class BaseDynaBeanMapDecorator<K>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.beanutils.BaseDynaBeanMapDecorator<K>

- Type Parameters:
    `K` - the type of the keys in the decorated map
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Map<K,Object>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    DynaBeanMapDecorator, DynaBeanPropertyMapDecorator

      public abstract class BaseDynaBeanMapDecorator<K>
      extends Object
      implements Map<K,Object>

  A base class for decorators providing `Map` behavior on `DynaBean`s.

  The motivation for this implementation is to provide access to `DynaBean` properties in technologies that are unaware of BeanUtils and `DynaBean`s - such as the expression languages of JSTL and JSF.

  This rather technical base class implements the methods of the `Map` interface on top of a `DynaBean`. It was introduced to handle generic parameters in a meaningful way without breaking backwards compatibility of the `DynaBeanMapDecorator` class: A map wrapping a `DynaBean` should be of type `Map<String, Object>`. However, when using these generic parameters in `DynaBeanMapDecorator` this would be an incompatible change (as method signatures would have to be adapted). To solve this problem, this generic base class is added which allows specifying the key type as parameter. This makes it easy to have a new subclass using the correct generic parameters while `DynaBeanMapDecorator` could still remain with compatible parameters.

    BeanUtils 1.9.0
