cvs commit: jakarta-commons/betwixt/src/java/org/apache/commons/betwixt/strategy ListedClassNormalizer.java

rdonkin     2003/09/08 06:56:47

  Added:       betwixt/src/java/org/apache/commons/betwixt/strategy
                        ListedClassNormalizer.java
  Log:
  ClassNormalizer is a strategy allowing the Class introspected to differ from the class of the bean. This implementation allows a list of classes to be substituted to be searched.
