/**
* The class <code>ByteArrayTransfer</code> provides a platform specific
* mechanism for converting a java <code>byte[]</code> to a platform specific
* representation of the byte array and vice versa.
*
* <p>
* <code>ByteArrayTransfer</code> is never used directly but is sub-classed by
* transfer agents that convert between data in a java format such as a
* <code>String</code> and a platform specific byte array.
*
* <p>
* If the data you are converting <b>does not</b> map to a <code>byte[]</code>,
* you should sub-class <code>Transfer</code> directly and do your own mapping
* to a platform data type.
* </p>
*
* <p>
* The following snippet shows a subclass of ByteArrayTransfer that transfers
* data defined by the class <code>MyType</code>.
* </p>
*
* <pre>
* <code>
* public class MyType {
* public String fileName;
* public long fileLength;
* public long lastModified;
* }
