Constructor Detail

XMLMapping

public XMLMapping()

Default constructor.

Method Detail

getDefinition

public java.lang.String getDefinition()

Get the XML mapping defnition. The actual format of the information returned depends upon the data binding mechenism being used, but it is generally an XML string that describes how XML nodes are mapped into object instances.

Returns:

String describing the mapping.

getDefinitionCDATA

public java.lang.String getDefinitionCDATA()

setDefinition

public void setDefinition(java.lang.String definition)

Set the XML mapping string

Parameters:

definition - The mapping string.

getDefinition()

getMarshaller

public java.lang.Object getMarshaller()

Get the XML marshaller. The XML databinding handlers may use this property to cache an instance of the marshaller. The configuration handler will ensure that this is handled in a version safe fashion.

Returns:

An instance of a marshaller.

setMarshaller

public void setMarshaller(java.lang.Object marshaller)

Set the marshaller for this mapping.

Parameters:

marshaller - The marshaller instance

See Also:

getMarshaller()

getUnmarshaller

public java.lang.Object getUnmarshaller()

Get the unmarshaller.

Returns:

An instance of the marshaller.

See Also:

getMarshaller()

setUnmarshaller

public void setUnmarshaller(java.lang.Object unmarshaller)

Set the unmarshaller.

Parameters:

unmarshaller - The XML Unmarshaller.
