Class Marshaller

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--feynman.framework.simulation.Marshaller

public class Marshaller

extends java.lang.Object

Utility class to load the properties file that the user has defined. If there is a switch to an XML format and using a real Marshalling/Unmarshalling tool like Castor, then this class can easily be refactored to an adaptor class.

The constructor is private since this is a utility class so there is no instance of this class to create or get. To use this class treat it just like the Math utility class in the following manner:

 Simulation simulation = Marshaller.unmarshall("Simulation.properties");
