public class Registry extends Object
Registry represents an object that is used to
register bindings between a class and a converter implementation.
Converter instances created by this registry are lazily created
and cached so that they are instantiated only once. This ensures
that the overhead of serialization is reduced.RegistryStrategy| Constructor and Description |

public Registry()
Registry object. This is used
to create a registry between classes and the converters that
should be used to serialize and deserialize the instances. All
converters are instantiated once and cached for reuse.public Converter lookup(Class type) throws Exception
Converter instance from
the registry. All instances are cache to reduce the overhead
of lookups during the serialization process. Converters are
lazily instantiated and so are only created if demanded.type - this is the type to find the converter forExceptionpublic Registry bind(Class type, Class converter) throws Exception
