All Superinterfaces:

Serializable, Tuplizer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractComponentTuplizer, DynamicMapComponentTuplizer, PojoComponentTuplizer
```
public interface ComponentTuplizer
extends Tuplizer, Serializable
```
Defines further responsibilities regarding tuplization based on a mapped components.
ComponentTuplizer implementations should have the following constructor signature: (org.hibernate.mapping.Component)
