    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb

Often a POJO is used to hold data in a Java program.  And a Pivot Prompt can be used to input values.  This proposed class is an extension of a plain Prompt that iterates through the accessible fields and getter/setter methods of a POJO and generates a dynamic Prompt to display and set the values of the given object.  This is a convenience class that encapsulates a lot of work involved in automatically generating such an input form, including validators.

I have done a similar thing in our application, and it can be quite effective for rapidly developing or prototyping an application.
