This class is used in case of session upgrade for copying session properties from the old session into the new one. Subclasses should implement SessionPropertyUpgrader.shouldCopy(java.lang.String) in order to control which properties are needed to copy into the new session. In case you want to modify the copyable session property you are encouraged to override SessionPropertyUpgrader.updateProperty(com.iplanet.dpro.session.service.SessionBuilder, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) method.
