Class SelfGetter

java.lang.Object
  com.openharbor.beck.get.DefaultGetter
      com.openharbor.beck.get.SelfGetter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Getter

public class SelfGetter

extends DefaultGetter

A Getter that returns the parent when asked for the child. This is used when the parent is unknown: a method that takes a parent and Getter can be given a child with no parent by passing the child in place of the parent, and an instance of this class as the Getter. For example, a root object is marshalled this way.

This design is torturous, and probably needs rethinking.
