## Class RequestTransformer

- java.lang.Object
- - com.smartgwt.client.data.RequestTransformer

-     public abstract class RequestTransformer
      extends java.lang.Object

  The RequestTransformer provides the equivalent functionality of overriding `DataSource.transformRequest(DSRequest)` when instantiating a DataSource on the client. However when obtaining a DataSource instance from the server using `DataSource.getDataSource(java.lang.String)`, `transformRequest(DSRequest)` and `#transformResponse(DSResponse, DSRequest, Object)` cannot be overridden and so the requestTransformer parameter can be passed to `DataSource.getDataSource(java.lang.String)` instead.
  See Also:
    `DataSource.getDataSource(java.lang.String)`
