public abstract class AbstractDiscriminator<T>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Discriminator<T>

An AbstractDiscriminator is an abstract Discriminator that implements the discriminate method that doesn't take an Extractor by calling the discriminate method that does take an Extractor and supplying a SelfExtractor. The other discriminate method that does take an Extractor is left unimplemented.
