/**
 * <p>Implementation of <code>DynaClass</code> for DynaBeans that wrap
 * standard JavaBean instances.</p>
 *
 * <p>
 * It is suggested that this class should not usually need to be used directly
 * to create new <code>WrapDynaBean</code> instances. 
 * It's usually better to call the <code>WrapDynaBean</code> constructor directly.
 * For example:</p>
 * <code><pre>
 *   Object javaBean = ...;
 *   DynaBean wrapper = new WrapDynaBean(javaBean);
 * </pre></code>
