In the JDK the parallel is Class vs Object. In [beanutils] the parallel is DynaClass vs DynaBean. Its the instantiated object. Thus Class or Clazz is a bad name for it. Object, Instance or Bean are better names. > Summary: > ============================ > MetaClass, MetaField, MetaOperation > ??? Field, Operation > Attribute > ============================ Problem with Field is that it is the same as reflection. I really want to avoid that as it will make the API much more complex to use (needing to qualify class names) Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
