Interface ConfigurableTransformer

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable, Transformer

public interface ConfigurableTransformer
extends Transformer

Interface for transformations. The 'configurable' version can be configured with an integer, so the transformer can work in a limited number of ways. This is to avoid a wild growth of class, because you can influence the behaviour a bit by such a setting.

Since:

MMBase-1.7
