Deprecated.
See ManagedTypeRepresentationStrategy
A tuplizer defines the contract for things which know how to manage a particular representation of a piece of data, given that representation's RepresentationMode (the entity-mode essentially defining which representation).
If that given piece of data is thought of as a data structure, then a tuplizer is the thing which knows how to
- create such a data structure appropriately
- extract values from and inject values into such a data structure
For example, a given piece of data might be represented as a POJO class. Here, it's representation and entity-mode is POJO. Well a tuplizer for POJO entity-modes would know how to
- create the data structure by calling the POJO's constructor
- extract and inject values through getters/setter, or by direct field access, etc

- Method Detail
  - getPropertyValue
```
Object getPropertyValue(Object entity,
                        int i)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Extract the value of a particular property from the given entity.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entity - The entity from which to extract the property value.
    
    i - The index of the property for which to extract the value.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value of the given property on the given entity.
  - getMappedClass
```
Class getMappedClass()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Return the pojo class managed by this tuplizer.
    Need to determine how to best handle this for the Tuplizers for EntityModes other than POJO.
    todo : be really nice to not have this here since it is essentially pojo specific...
    
    Returns:
    
    The persistent class.
  - getGetter
```
Getter getGetter(int i)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Retrieve the getter for the specified property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - The property index.
    
    Returns:
    
    The property getter.
