public interface AdapterTemplateModel extends TemplateModel
TemplateModel
interfaces. A class implementing this
interface usually serves as an adapter that provides bridging between a
different object model and FreeMarker template models. It provides a
capability to retrieve the underlying object. This interface is rarely
implemented by applications. It is tipically implemented by adapter classes
used for wrapping in various object wrapper implementation.NOTHING

getAdaptedObject(java.lang.Class hint)
Retrieves the underlying object, or some other object semantically
equivalent to its value narrowed by the class hint.

java.lang.Object getAdaptedObject(java.lang.Class hint)
hint
- the desired class of the returned value. An implementation
should make reasonable effort to retrieve an object of the requested
class, but if that is impossible, it must at least return the underlying
object as-is. As a minimal requirement, an implementation must always
return the exact underlying object when
hint.isInstance(underlyingObject) == true holds. When called
with java.lang.Object.class, it should return a generic Java
object (i.e. if the model is wrapping a scripting lanugage object that is
further wrapping a Java object, the deepest underlying Java object should
be returned).
