Interface Mapper

public interface Mapper

Generally, implementations of this interface map instances of one Java type into instances of another Java type. Mappers are used in cases when instances of "enum" types are used as CMP field values. In this case, a mapper represents a mediator and translates instances of "enum" to some id when that can be stored in a column when storing data and back from id to "enum" instance when data is loaded.
