All Implemented Interfaces:
ContextMapper<T>
public abstract class AbstractContextMapper<T> extends Object implements ContextMapper<T>

    • mapFromContext

      public final T mapFromContext(Object ctx)

      Specified by:
      mapFromContext in interface ContextMapper<T>
      Parameters:

      Returns:
      an object built from the data in the context.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - if a custom DirObjectFactory implementation is used, causing the objects passed in be anything else than DirContextOperations instances.
