/**
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 * <p>Instantiates a class that conforms to the JavaBeans specification. This tag has a body which can contain
 * a number of {@link Param} elements to set any mutator methods on that class.</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>If the id attribute is set on the BeanTag, it will place the instantiated bean into the
 * stack's Context.</p>
 * <p/>
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 *
 *
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: params -->
 * <ul>
 *      <li>id - the stack's context id (if supplied) that the created bean will be store under</li>
 *      <li>name* - the class name of the bean to be instantiated (must respect JavaBean specification)</li>
 * </ul>
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: params -->
 *
 *
 * <p>Examples:</p>
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: examples -->
 * <-- in freemarker form -->
 * [@s.bean name="org.apache.struts2.example.counter.SimpleCounter" id="counter"]
 *   [s:param name="foo" value="BAR"/]
 *   The value of foo is : [s:property value="foo"/], when inside the bean tag.<br />
 * [/s:bean]
 *
 * <-- in jsp form -->
 * <s:bean name="org.apache.struts2.example.counter.SimpleCounter" id="counter">
 *   <s:param name="foo" value="BAR" />
 *   The value of foot is : <s:property value="foo"/>, when inside the bean tag <br />
 * </s:bean>
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: examples -->
 * </pre>
 * <p/>
 *
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: examplesdescription -->
 * <p>This example instantiates a bean called SimpleCounter and sets the foo property (setFoo('BAR')). The
 * SimpleCounter object is then pushed onto the Valuestack, which means that we can call its accessor methods (getFoo())
 * with the Property tag and get their values.</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>In the above example, the id has been set to a value of <i>counter</i>. This means that the SimpleCounter class
 * will be placed into the stack's context. You can access the SimpleCounter class using a Struts tag:</p>
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 * <-- jsp form -->
 * <s:property value="#counter" />
 *
 * <-- freemarker form -->
 * [s:property value="#counter.foo"/]
 * </pre>
 * <p/>
 * <p>In the property tag example, the <i>#</i> tells Ognl to search the context for the SimpleCounter class which has
 * an id(key) of <i>counter</i></p>
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: examplesdescription -->
