public interface ProcessingSettings
extends Serializable

The class ProcessingSettings is a base class to hold settings used to control certain aspects of a document processing process.

Implementations of ProcessingSettings are required to follow the Java Bean pattern. In particular, the implementation of a public default constructor is mandatory. Beyond the interface imposed by this interface, implementors are required to override the Object.equals(Object) and Object.hashCode() methods in a correct and efficient way.
