Interface OutputWriter

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseOutputWriter, OutputWriterAdapter, ResultTransformerOutputWriter, StdOutWriter.W

public interface OutputWriter

Interface which defines a writer for taking jmx data and writing it out in whatever format you want. Note that this class uses a feature of Jackson to serialize anything that implements this as a "@class". That way, when Jackson deserializes implementations of this interface, it is done with new objects that implement this interface.
