/**
 * <p>Implementation of {@link DynaClass} that creates an in-memory collection
 * of {@link DynaBean}s representing the results of an SQL query.  Once the
 * {@link DynaClass} instance has been created, the JDBC <code>ResultSet</code>
 * and <code>Statement</code> on which it is based can be closed, and the
 * underlying <code>Connection</code> can be returned to its connection pool
 * (if you are using one).</p>
 *
 * <p>The normal usage pattern is something like:</p>
 * <pre>
 *   Connection conn = ...;  // Acquire connection from pool
 *   Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
 *   ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT ...");
 *   RowSetDynaClass rsdc = new RowSetDynaClass(rs);
 *   rs.close();
 *   stmt.close();
 *   ...;                    // Return connection to pool
 *   List rows = rsdc.getRows();
 *   ...;                   // Process the rows as desired
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Each column in the result set will be represented as a {@link DynaBean}
 * property of the corresponding name (optionally forced to lower case
 * for portability).  There will be one {@link DynaBean} in the
 * <code>List</code> returned by <code>getRows()</code> for each
 * row in the original <code>ResultSet</code>.</p>
 *
 * <p>In general, instances of {@link RowSetDynaClass} can be serialized
 * and deserialized, which will automatically include the list of
 * {@link DynaBean}s representing the data content.  The only exception
 * to this rule would be when the underlying property values that were
 * copied from the <code>ResultSet</code> originally cannot themselves
 * be serialized.  Therefore, a {@link RowSetDynaClass} makes a very
 * convenient mechanism for transporting data sets to remote Java-based
 * application components.</p>
