<DT><PRE>public interface <B>IMarshaller</B></DL>
</PRE>

<P>
Marshaller interface definition. This interface must be implemented
 by the handler for marshalling an object.<p>

 Instances of classes implementing this interface must be serially
 reusable, meaning they can store state information while in the process
 of marshalling an object but must reset all state when called to
 marshal another object after the first one is done (even if the first
 object throws an exception during marshalling).

 The JiBX framework will only create one instance of a marshaller class
 for each mapped class using that marshaller. Generally the marshaller
 instance will not be called recursively, but this may happen in cases where
 the binding definition includes recursive mappings and the marshaller
 uses other marshallers (as opposed to handling all children directly).
