```
public ConversionKey(java.lang.Class<?> aSourceType,
                     java.lang.Class<?> aTargetType)
```
    Creates a new instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    aSourceType - the source type
    
    aTargetType - the target type
  - ConversionKey
```
public ConversionKey(java.lang.Class<? extends Conversion<?,?>> aConversion)
```
    Takes a Conversion implementation and determines the applicable conversion key.
    
    Parameters:
    
    aConversion - the conversion to look at
- Method Detail
  - getSourceType
```
public java.lang.Class<?> getSourceType()
```
  - getTargetType
```
public java.lang.Class<?> getTargetType()
```
  - generateDerivedKeys
```
public java.util.List<AbstractModularValueConverter.ConversionKey> generateDerivedKeys()
```
    Generates the derived conversion keys from the current key. "Derived keys" means keys which cover the whole target type superclass hierarchy.
    
    Returns:
    
    the derived key list
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object anObject)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
