# Class WrapDynaBean

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.beanutils2.WrapDynaBean

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `DynaBean`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `ConvertingWrapDynaBean`

public class WrapDynaBean extends Object implements DynaBean

Implements `DynaBean` to wrap a standard JavaBean instance, so that DynaBean APIs can be used to access its properties.

The most common use cases for this class involve wrapping an existing Java bean. (This makes it different from the typical use cases for other `DynaBean`'s.) For example:

      Object aJavaBean = ...;
      ...
      DynaBean db = new WrapDynaBean(aJavaBean);
      ...

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - This implementation does not support the `contains()</code> and <code>remove()` methods.

- ## Field Details

  - ### dynaClass

    protected transient WrapDynaClass dynaClass
    The `DynaClass` "base class" that this DynaBean is associated with.

  - ### instance

    protected Object instance
    The JavaBean instance wrapped by this WrapDynaBean.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### WrapDynaBean

    public WrapDynaBean(Object instance)
    Constructs a new `DynaBean` associated with the specified JavaBean instance.
    Parameters:
      `instance` - JavaBean instance to be wrapped

  - ### WrapDynaBean

    public WrapDynaBean(Object instance, WrapDynaClass cls)
    Creates a new instance of `WrapDynaBean`, associates it with the specified JavaBean instance, and initializes the bean's `DynaClass`. Using this constructor this `WrapDynaBean` instance can be assigned a class which has been configured externally. If no `WrapDynaClass` is provided, a new one is created using a standard mechanism.
    Parameters:
      `instance` - JavaBean instance to be wrapped
      `cls` - the optional `WrapDynaClass` to be used for this bean
    Since:
      1.9

      `contains` in interface `DynaBean`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the property to check
      `key` - Name of the key to check
    Returns:
      `true` if the mapped property contains a value for the specified key, otherwise `false`
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no property of the specified name

  - ### get

    public Object get(String name)
    Gets the value of a simple property with the specified name.
    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `DynaBean`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
    Returns:
      The property's value
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no property of the specified name
      `NullPointerException` - for null input.

  - ### get

    public Object get(String name, int index)
    Gets the value of an indexed property with the specified name.
    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `DynaBean`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
      `index` - Index of the value to be retrieved
    Returns:
      The indexed property's value
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if there is no property of the specified name
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified property exists, but is not indexed
      `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the specified index is outside the range of the underlying property
      `NullPointerException` - if no array or List has been initialized for this property

  - ### get

    public Object get(String name, String key)
    Gets the value of a mapped property with the specified name, or `null` if there is no value for the specified key.
    Specified by:
      `get` in interface `DynaBean`
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
      `key` - Key of the value to be retrieved
