Since:

10 This class is used to preserve the old method of doing Field Transformations on a transformation mapping. It is used internally when the older API is used on a TransformationMapping, and handles doing invocations on the user's domain class

public void initialize(AbstractTransformationMapping mapping)
```
    Description copied from interface: FieldTransformer
    
    Initialize this transformer. Only required if the user needs some special information from the mapping in order to do the transformation
    
    Specified by:
    
    initialize in interface FieldTransformer
    
    Parameters:
    mapping - - the mapping this transformer is associated with.
  - getFieldType
```
public java.lang.Class getFieldType()
```
    Return the Java class type of the field value. This uses the method return type.
  - buildFieldValue
```
public java.lang.Object buildFieldValue(java.lang.Object object,
                               java.lang.String fieldName,
                               Session session)
```
    Specified by:
    
    buildFieldValue in interface CoreFieldTransformer<Session>
    
    Specified by:
    
    buildFieldValue in interface FieldTransformer
    
    Parameters:
    object - - an instance of the domain class which contains the attribute
    fieldName - - the name of the field being transformed. Used if the user wants to use this transformer for multiple fields.
    session - - the current session
    
    Returns:
    - The value to be written for the field associated with this transformer
  - getMethodName
```
public java.lang.String getMethodName()
```
  - setMethodName
```
public void setMethodName(java.lang.String name)
