/**
 * <p>Will look at a session attribute to find the name of an appropriate decorator to use. If the
 * session attribute is present, the mapper will not do anything and allow the next mapper in the chain
 * to select a decorator.</p>
 * 
 * <p>By default, it will look at the 'decorator' session attribute, however this can be overriden by
 * configuring the mapper with a 'decorator.parameter' property.</p>
