-/**
- * <p>Decorates a {@link DynaBean} to provide <code>Map</code> behaviour.</p>
- *
- * <p>The motivation for this implementation is to provide access to {@link DynaBean}
- *    properties in technologies that are unaware of BeanUtils and {@link DynaBean}s -
- *    such as the expression languages of JSTL and JSF.</p>
- *
- * <p>This can be achieved either by wrapping the {@link DynaBean} prior to
- *    providing it to the technolody to process or by providing a <code>Map</code>
- *    accessor method on the DynaBean implementation:</p>
- *    <pre><code>
- *         public Map getMap() {
- *             return new DynaBeanMapDecorator(this);
- *         }</code></pre>
- *
- * <p>This, for example, could be used in JSTL in the following way to access
- *    a DynaBean's <code>fooProperty</code>:</p>
- *    <ul><li><code>${myDynaBean.<b>map</b>.fooProperty}</code></li></ul>
- *
- * <h3>Usage</h3>
- *
- * <p>To decorate a {@link DynaBean} simply instantiate this class with the
- *    target {@link DynaBean}:</p>
- *
- * <ul><li><code>Map fooMap = new DynaBeanMapDecorator(fooDynaBean);</code></li></ul>
- *
- * <p>The above example creates a <b><i>read only</i></b> <code>Map</code>.
- *    To create  a <code>Map</code> which can be modified, construct a
- *    <code>DynaBeanMapDecorator</code> with the <b><i>read only</i></b>
- *    attribute set to <code>false</code>:</p>
- *
- * <ul><li><code>Map fooMap = new DynaBeanMapDecorator(fooDynaBean, false);</code></li></ul>
- *
- * <h3>Limitations</h3>
- * <p>In this implementation the <code>entrySet()</code>, <code>keySet()</code>
- *    and <code>values()</code> methods create an <b><i>unmodifiable</i></b>
- *    <code>Set</code> and it does not support the Map's <code>clear()</code>
- *    and <code>remove()</code> operations.</p>
- * <p>For reasons of backwards compatibility, the generic types of this
- *    {@code Map} implementation are {@code <Object, Object>}. However, the
- *    keys of the map are typically strings.</p>
- *
- * @since BeanUtils 1.8.0
- * @version $Id$
- * @deprecated Use {@link DynaBeanPropertyMapDecorator} instead. When adding
- * generics it turned out that it was not possible to use the correct type
- * parameters without breaking backwards compatibility. Therefore, class
- * {@code DynaBeanPropertyMapDecorator} was introduced as a replacement.
