The ValueMap interface represents a mapping between physical and
logical values. While this could be used in many contexts, the
most common is to consider the physical value as stored on or
communicated to a system, and the logical value to be manipulated
or externalized in Java.
This class is intended as a helper class for implementing subclasses
of {@link com.ibm.as400.resource.Resource Resource}.
@see AbstractValueMap
@deprecated Use packages com.ibm.as400.access and com.ibm.as400.access.list instead.
