public class MapBean
extends HashMap<String,Object>
implements DynamicBean

Implementation of a fully dynamic Bean based on an exposed Map.

Properties are dynamic, and can be added and removed at will from the map.

This class extends HashMap, allowing it to be used wherever a map is. See FlexiBean for a map-like bean implementation that is more controlled.

Description copied from interface: DynamicBean

Gets the meta-bean representing the parts of the bean that are common across all instances, such as the set of meta-properties.

public Property<Object> property(String name)

Description copied from interface: DynamicBean

Gets a property by name.

This will not throw an exception if the property name does not exist. Whether a property is immediately created or not is implementation dependent.
