Class PassThroughConverter

java.lang.Object

ma.glasnost.orika.CustomConverter<Object,Object>

ma.glasnost.orika.converter.builtin.PassThroughConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter<Object,Object>, MappedTypePair<Object,Object>

public class PassThroughConverter
extends CustomConverter<Object,Object>

PassThroughConverter allows configuration of a number of specific types which should be passed through (as-is) without creating a mapped copy.

This allows you to declare your own set of types which should be treated by Orika as if they were in the set of immutable types.
