  org.vfny.geoserver.global.dto.DataTransferObjectFactory

public class DataTransferObjectFactory

extends java.lang.Object

Generate Data Transfer Objects from "real" objects in the system.

This class is used to isolate the DTO from the details of generating them. This allows DTO objects to be safely used as a wire protocol with out unrequired dependencies on such things as AttributeType and FeatureType.

This class may choose to opperate as a facade on the services of global.xml?
