 /**
- * Created by mopar on 5/16/17.
+ * Map a ResultSet row to an Object. This mapper generates/compiles/executes java code to perform the mapping.
+ *
+ * @author Travis Burtrum (modifications from beehive)
+ * @author Travis Burtrum
+ * @see RowToObjectMapper for most details, will document here where this differs
+ * <p>
+ * Usage differences:
+ * 1. Reflection can set non-public or final fields directly, direct java code cannot, so DTOs like that will result in
+ * a compilation and therefore mapping error.
+ * <p>
+ * Subclass differences:
+ * 1. Normally a subclass of RowToObjectMapper can overload the getMapImplementation() method to change some behavior,
+ * @see CaseInsensitiveMapRowToObjectMapper , but that method is never called with this implementation.
