19 | * <p>Class normalization strategy.</p> |
|

|
21 | * <p> |
|
22 | * The normalized Class is the Class that Betwixt should |
|
23 | * introspect. |
|
24 | * This strategy class allows the introspected Class to be |
|
25 | * varied. |
|
26 | * This implementation simply returns the Class given. |

|

|
29 | * <p> |
|
30 | * Used by Betwixt to allow superclasses or interfaces to be subsittuted |
|
31 | * before an object is introspected. |
|
32 | * This allows users to feed in logical interfaces and make Betwixt ignore |
|
33 | * properties other than those in the interface. |
|
34 | * It also allows support for <code>Proxy</code>'s. |
|
35 | * Together, these features allow Betwixt to deal with Entity Beans |
|
36 | * properly by viewing them through their remote interfaces. |
