/**
 * <p>Specialized subclass of <code>ActionForm</code> that allows the creation
 * of form beans with dynamic sets of properties, without requiring the
 * developer to create a Java class for each type of form bean.</p>
 *
 * <p><strong>USAGE NOTE</strong> - Since Struts 1.1, the <code>reset</code>
 * method no longer initializes property values to those specified in
 * <code>&lt;form-property&gt;</code> elements in the Struts module
 * configuration file.  If you wish to utilize that behavior, the simplest
 * solution is to subclass <code>DynaActionForm</code> and call the
 * <code>initialize</code> method inside it.</p>
