sirius.biz.i5.Transformable

public abstract class Transformable
extends Object

Base class for all types which can automatically be transformed from and to byte arrays.

The Transformer for the given class will read all Transform annotations and determine which parts of the byte array belong to which Java field. It then converts them using the appropriate AS400... classes.
