Wouldn't a "class" property corresponds to getClass()/setClass() methods? I don't think you can overloaded methods in the JavaBean spec since getClass() is on every Object. You'll have to implement this first, I suppose, just to make sure my concern is (in)valid.

> In building a JSP, and working on web related things outside of the Java environment, there are lots of tags which all receive the "class" attribute. The Struts developer must _remember_ to call the attribute cssClass instead. Typing muscle memory drives me to half of the time typing "class" instead, which leads to HTML which reads, 'class="class java.util.HashMap"'
> Why not just allow "class" like the rest of the HTML world? Why do we need to be different? I have a billion things to remember when web developing, this shouldn't be one of them.
> We don't even have to to deprecate or obsolete cssClass, just also allow "class"... please!
