Interface ComplexFieldMapEntry<I,K extends Comparable<K>,T>

Type Parameters:

I - The initializer type used to build the many-to-one mapping

K - The type of the key used for indexing

T - The type of the bean being converted

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractFieldMapEntry, PositionToBeanField, RegexToBeanField

public interface ComplexFieldMapEntry<I,K extends Comparable<K>,T>

Defines the basic functionality necessary for using a many-to-one mapping between columns of a CSV file and bean fields. Such a mapping requires a method of matching multiple fields. This method will require data to initialize itself. Such a mapping also requires a key to index the BeanField that is to be provided for a match.
