org.eclipse.persistence.indirection.ValueHolder<T>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, ValueHolderInterface<T>, WeavedAttributeValueHolderInterface<T>
public class ValueHolder<T> extends Object implements WeavedAttributeValueHolderInterface<T>, Cloneable, Serializable

Purpose: Act as a place holder for a variable that required a value holder interface. This class should be used to initialze an objects attributes that are using indirection is their mappings.
