 /**

  * Public custom converter interface.

  * 

  * In the Dozer mapping file(s), you can add some XML to tell Dozer to use a custom converter for certain class A and

  * class B types. When a custom converter is specified for a class A and class B combination, Dozer will invoke the

  * custom converter to perform the data mapping instead of the standard mapping logic.

  * 

  * This interface also gives you the opportunity to send a configuration parameter to it
