Introspector, Serializable, Serializable

public class BCReflectiveIntrospector
extends ReflectiveIntrospector

Backward Compatible reflective introspector. This Introspector uses Java Reflection to translate java objects to/from abstract descriptors as the ReflectiveIntrospector does, but it assumes the accessors methods for aggregate slots to be in the "old JADE style" i.e. For every aggregate slot named XXX, with elements of type T, the Java class must have two accessible methods, with the following signature:

• Iterator getAllXXX()
• void addXXX(T t)
