public interface ToMarshaller<S,T>

Interface for explicitly defining conversions to a target object from a specific object type (marshalling).
Implementations of this class should be idempotent (behaviour should not vary between calls) and thread-safe.
S refers to the bound type for the conversion
T refers to the target type

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
