Class Transformer

java.lang.Object

sirius.biz.i5.Transformer

public class Transformer
extends Object

Helps to transform byte oriented record (sent and received from the i5) into Java objects.

This is achieved by placing Transform annotations on fields with appropriate AS400... types. These are scanned and automatically copied to or from the byte array.
