Method Summary
`Object` | `decode(Object pObject)` Decodes an "encoded" Object and returns a "decoded" Object.

Method Detail

### decode

    Object decode(Object pObject)
                  throws DecoderException

  Decodes an "encoded" Object and returns a "decoded" Object. Note that the implementation of this interface will try to cast the Object parameter to the specific type expected by a particular Decoder implementation. If a `ClassCastException` occurs this decode method will throw a DecoderException.

  Parameters:
    `pObject` - an object to "decode"
  Returns:
    a 'decoded" object
  Throws:
    `DecoderException` - a decoder exception can be thrown for any number of reasons. Some good candidates are that the parameter passed to this method is null, a param cannot be cast to the appropriate type for a specific encoder.
