public class TypeMap
extends java.util.HashMap

A map where all keys and values are of type Class. This is accomplished by making the put(Object, Object)method convert the key and value supplied to it to a Class object using ClassUtils.newInstance(Object). This class is included to ease the configuration of Morph. One example of where it is used is in SimpleInstantiatingReflector.setRequestedToInstantiatedTypeMap(Map).
