/** Some utilities to populate beans, usually based on
 *  incoming request parameters. Requires three packages
 *  from the Apache Commons library: beanutils, collections,
 *  and logging. To obtain these packages, see
 *  http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/. Also, the book's
 *  source code archive (see http://www.coreservlets.com/)
 *  contains links to all URLs mentioned in the book, including
 *  to the specific sections of the Jakarta Commons package.
 *  <P>
 *  Note that this class is in the coreservlets.beans package,
 *  so must be installed in .../coreservlets/beans/.
