adapt

T adapt(Container root,
 OverlayContainer rootOverlay,
 ArtifactEntry artifactEntry,
 Entry entryToAdapt)
 throws UnableToAdaptException

Adapt from the Adaptable 'entryToAdapt' to type T

Note that artifact layer paths may not be equivalent to adaptable paths.

This allows the Adaptable Layer to have a different concept of 'isRoot' hierarchy than the artifact.

Parameters:

root - the Container that returns isRoot=true for entryToAdapt.

rootOverlay - the artifact layer entry that holds the data underpinning this adaptable.

artifactEntry - the artifact entry corresponding to the entryToAdapt

entryToAdapt - the adaptable entry to be adapted.
