Interface ConvertInterceptor

public interface ConvertInterceptor

Interceptor which allows additional work to be done when jTransfo converts between objects.

This functions like around advice in AOP.

The interceptor should be re-entrant. A singleton may be used for all convert invocations.

The interceptors can for example be used to handle validation.
