public class MethodToMarshaller<S,T>
extends Object
implements ToMarshaller<S,T>

Base class providing capability to perform marshalling of source object type to target. This class uses reflection.

The marshal method must either

a) be instance scoped and defined as part of class S. It must accept no parameters and return a type of T. For example:

public String marshal()

b) be statically scoped. It must accept a single parameter of type S and return a type of T. For example:

public static String marshal(BoundType param)
