public abstract class EntryExtractor extends AbstractExtractor implements PortableObject, ExternalizableLite
The EntryExtractor is a base abstract class for special purpose custom ValueExtractor implementations. It allows them to extract a desired value using all available information on the corresponding Map.Entry object and is intended to be used in advanced custom scenarios, when application code needs to look at both key and value at the same time or can make some very specific assumptions regarding to the implementation details of the underlying Entry object. As of Coherence 3.5, the same behavior can be achieved by subclasses of the AbstractExtractor by overriding the AbstractExtractor.extractFromEntry().
