Class UnsupportedObject

java.lang.Object

com.rational.test.ft.value.UnsupportedObject

public class UnsupportedObject
extends java.lang.Object

Supports compatibility between different versions of the product. As classes are persisted out and back in there is the possibility of variations in the set of supported value classes. These variations are managed by creating instances of this class when an appropriate value manager is not available. The value manager for this class understands how to persist back to the appropriate value and attempts to compare the values even is to the original class.
