Interface IMarshallable

public interface IMarshallable

Marshallable interface definition. This interface must be implemented by all classes which can be marshalled as independent units (not just as children of other objects). Classes implementing this interface may either marshal themselves directly (if there's only one marshalling format defined), or obtain an instance of the appropriate marshaller from the context and use that. This interface is automatically added by the binding compiler to all classes targeted by <mapping> elements in a binding.
