/**
 * <h2>Lazy DynaBean List.
 * 
 * <p>There are two main purposes for this class:

* <ul> * <li>To provide Lazy List behaviour - automatically * <i>growing and populating the List * with either <code>DynaBean, java.util.Map * or POJO Beans.</li> * <li>To provide a straight forward way of putting a Collection * or Array into the lazy list <i>and a straight forward * way to get it out again at the end.</li> * </ul> * * <p>All elements added to the List are stored as DynaBean's:

* <ul> * <li>java.util.Map elements are "wrapped" in a LazyDynaMap. * <li>POJO Bean elements are "wrapped" in a WrapDynaBean. * <li>DynaBean's are stored un-changed. * </ul> * * <h4>toArray() * <p>The toArray() method returns an array of the * elements of the appropriate type. If the <code>LazyDynaList * is populated with <code>java.util.Map objects a * <code>Map[] array is returned. * If the list is populated with POJO Beans an appropriate * array of the POJO Beans is returned. Otherwise a <code>DynaBean[] * array is returned. * </p> * * <h4>toDynaBeanArray() * <p>The toDynaBeanArray() method returns a * <code>DynaBean[] array of the elements in the List. * </p> * * <p>N.B.All the elements in the List must be the * same type. If the <code>DynaClass or Class * of the <code>LazyDynaList's elements is * not specified, then it will be automatically set to the type * of the first element populated. * </p> * * <h3>Example 1 * <p>If you have an array of java.util.Map[] - you can put that into * a <code>LazyDynaList.

* * <pre> * TreeMap[] myArray = .... // your Map[] * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(myArray); * </code>
* * <p>New elements of the appropriate Map type are * automatically populated:</p> * * <pre> * // get(index) automatically grows the list * DynaBean newElement = (DynaBean)lazyList.get(lazyList.size()); * newElement.put("someProperty", "someValue"); * </code> * * <p>Once you've finished you can get back an Array of the * elements of the appropriate type:</p> * * <pre> * // Retrieve the array from the list * TreeMap[] myArray = (TreeMap[])lazyList.toArray()); * </code> * * * <h3>Example 2 * <p>Alternatively you can create an empty List and * specify the Class for List's elements. The LazyDynaList * uses the Class to automatically populate elements:</p> * * <pre> * // e.g. For Maps * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(TreeMap.class); * * // e.g. For POJO Beans * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(MyPojo.class); * * // e.g. For DynaBeans * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(MyDynaBean.class); * </code> * * <h3>Example 3 * <p>Alternatively you can create an empty List and specify the * DynaClass for List's elements. The LazyDynaList uses * the DynaClass to automatically populate elements:</p> * * <pre> * // e.g. For Maps * DynaClass dynaClass = new LazyDynaMap(new HashMap()); * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(dynaClass); * * // e.g. For POJO Beans * DynaClass dynaClass = (new WrapDynaBean(myPojo)).getDynaClass(); * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(dynaClass); * * // e.g. For DynaBeans * DynaClass dynaClass = new BasicDynaClass(properties); * List lazyList = new LazyDynaList(dynaClass); * </code> * * <p>N.B. You may wonder why control the type * using a <code>DynaClass rather than the Class * as in the previous example - the reason is that some <code>DynaBean * implementations don't have a <i>default empty constructor and * therefore need to be instantiated using the <code>DynaClass.newInstance() * method.</p> * * <h3>Example 4 * <p>A slight variation - set the element type using either * the <code>setElementType(Class) method or the * <code>setElementDynaClass(DynaClass) method - then populate * with the normal <code>java.util.List methods(i.e. * <code>add(), addAll() or set()).

* * <pre> * // Create a new LazyDynaList (100 element capacity) * LazyDynaList lazyList = new LazyDynaList(100); * * // Either Set the element type... * lazyList.setElementType(TreeMap.class); * * // ...or the element DynaClass... * lazyList.setElementDynaClass(new MyCustomDynaClass()); * * // Populate from a collection * lazyList.addAll(myCollection); * * </code> * * @author Niall Pemberton * @version $Revision: 926529 $ $Date: 2010-03-23 11:44:24 +0000 (Tue, 23 Mar 2010) $ * @since 1.8.0 */ public class LazyDynaList extends ArrayList { /** * The DynaClass of the List's elements. */ private DynaClass elementDynaClass; /** * The WrapDynaClass if the List's contains * POJO Bean elements. * * N.B.
