org.jcon.data.ClassMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ClassMapping
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A ClassMapping is an association between classes and objects.

The association follows the inheritance network, so a ClassMapping will search for interfaces or superclasses that might apply if a direct match does not exist.
