/**
 * <p>Implementation of <code>DynaClass</code> for DynaBeans that wrap the
 * <code>java.sql.Row</code> objects of a <code>java.sql.ResultSet</code>.
 * The normal usage pattern is something like:</p>
 * <pre>
 *   ResultSet rs = ...;
 *   ResultSetDynaClass rsdc = new ResultSetDynaClass(rs);
 *   Iterator rows = rsdc.iterator();
 *   while (rows.hasNext())  {
 *     DynaBean row = (DynaBean) rows.next();
 *     ... process this row ...
 *   }
 *   rs.close();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Each column in the result set will be represented as a DynaBean
 * property of the corresponding name (optionally forced to lower case
 * for portability).</p>
 *
 * <p><strong>WARNING</strong> - Any {@link DynaBean} instance returned by
 * this class, or from the <code>Iterator</code> returned by the
 * <code>iterator()</code> method, is directly linked to the row that the
 * underlying result set is currently positioned at.  This has the following
 * implications:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Once you retrieve a different {@link DynaBean} instance, you should
 *     no longer use any previous instance.</li>
 * <li>Changing the position of the underlying result set will change the
 *     data that the {@link DynaBean} references.</li>
 * <li>Once the underlying result set is closed, the {@link DynaBean}
 *     instance may no longer be used.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Any database data that you wish to utilize outside the context of the
 * current row of an open result set must be copied.  For example, you could
 * use the following code to create standalone copies of the information in
 * a result set:</p>
 * <pre>
 *   ArrayList results = new ArrayList(); // To hold copied list
 *   ResultSetDynaClass rsdc = ...;
 *   DynaProperty properties[] = rsdc.getDynaProperties();
 *   BasicDynaClass bdc =
 *     new BasicDynaClass("foo", BasicDynaBean.class,
 *                        rsdc.getDynaProperties());
 *   Iterator rows = rsdc.iterator();
 *   while (rows.hasNext()) {
 *     DynaBean oldRow = (DynaBean) rows.next();
 *     DynaBean newRow = bdc.newInstance();
 *     PropertyUtils.copyProperties(newRow, oldRow);
 *     results.add(newRow);
 *   }
 * </pre>
