Interface ValueMap

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractValueMap, IntegerValueMap

public interface ValueMap

The ValueMap interface represents a mapping between physical and logical values. While this could be used in many contexts, the most common is to consider the physical value as stored on or communicated to an AS/400, and the logical value to be manipulated or externalized in Java.

This class is intended as a helper class for implementing subclasses of Resource.
