/**
 * <p><code>Closure</code> that sets a property.</p>
 * <p>
 * An implementation of <code>org.apache.commons.collections.Closure</code> that updates
 * a specified property on the object provided with a specified value.
 * The <code>BeanPropertyValueChangeClosure</code> constructor takes two parameters which determine
 * what property will be updated and with what value.
 * <dl>
 *    <dt>
 *       <b><code>
 *           <pre>public BeanPropertyValueChangeClosure( String propertyName, Object propertyValue )</pre>
 *       </code></b>
 *    </dt>
 *    <dd>
 *       Will create a <code>Closure</code> that will update an object by setting the property
 *       specified by <code>propertyName</code> to the value specified by <code>propertyValue</code>.
 *    </dd>
 * </dl>
 *
 * <p/>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> Property names can be a simple, nested, indexed, or mapped property as defined by
 * <code>org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils</code>.  If any object in the property path
 * specified by <code>propertyName</code> is <code>null</code> then the outcome is based on the
 * value of the <code>ignoreNull</code> attribute.
 *
 * <p/>
 * A typical usage might look like:
 * <code><pre>
 * // create the closure
 * BeanPropertyValueChangeClosure closure =
 *    new BeanPropertyValueChangeClosure( "activeEmployee", Boolean.TRUE );
 *
 * // update the Collection
 * CollectionUtils.forAllDo( peopleCollection, closure );
 * </pre></code>
 * <p/>
 *
 * This would take a <code>Collection</code> of person objects and update the
 * <code>activeEmployee</code> property of each object in the <code>Collection</code> to
 * <code>true</code>. Assuming...
 * <ul>
 *    <li>
 *       The top level object in the <code>peopleCollection</code> is an object which represents a
 *       person.
 *    </li>
 *    <li>
 *       The person object has a <code>setActiveEmployee( boolean )</code> method which updates
 *       the value for the object's <code>activeEmployee</code> property.
 *    </li>
 * </ul>
