Interface ArooaClass

All Known Implementing Classes:

DynaArooaClass, SimpleArooaClass, WrapDynaArooaClass

public interface ArooaClass

A container for type information that can be more than just class, for instance when the type is a BeanUtils DynaBean.

Implementations should implement equals and hashCode so their BeanOverviews may be cached. This is because creating them is possibly an expensive operation due to introspection (although this hasn't been prooved by the developer).
