- org.apache.commons.collections.functors.ConstantTransformer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Transformer
```
@Deprecated(since="2021-04-30")
public class ConstantTransformer
extends Object
implements Transformer, Serializable
```
Deprecated.
Commons Collections 3 is in maintenance mode. Commons Collections 4 should be used instead.

Transformer implementation that returns the same constant each time.
No check is made that the object is immutable. In general, only immutable objects should use the constant factory. Mutable objects should use the prototype factory.

Since:

Commons Collections 3.0
