    42   * <p>Specialized subclass of <code>ActionForm</code> that allows the creation
    43   * of form beans with dynamic sets of properties, without requiring the
    44   * developer to create a Java class for each type of form bean.</p>
    45   *
    46   * <p><strong>USAGE NOTE</strong> - Since Struts 1.1, the <code>reset</code>
    47   * method no longer initializes property values to those specified in
    48   * <code>&lt;form-property&gt;</code> elements in the Struts module
    49   * configuration file.  If you wish to utilize that behavior, the simplest
    50   * solution is to subclass <code>DynaActionForm</code> and call the
    51   * <code>initialize</code> method inside it.</p>
