Class IORMutator

public abstract class IORMutator extends Object

IORMutator is a low level plugin that allows the user to mutate incoming or outgoing objects at the CDRStream level. If the plugin is enabled both mutators will be called by the respective CDRStreams. Note - While this allows the user a lot of power altering objects at a very low level, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that any IOR returned is valid.
