                                      Transformer transformer2)

Deprecated.

Factory method that performs validation.

Parameters:

transformer1 - the first transformer, not null

transformer2 - the second transformer, not null

Returns:

the chained transformer

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if either transformer is null

transform

Deprecated.

Transforms the input to result via each decorated transformer

Specified by:

transform in interface Transformer

Parameters:

object - the input object passed to the first transformer

Returns:

the transformed result
